Mission of Reconciliation

Sin fractures the relationship between God and humanity. Before Christ, there is hostility—people estranged from God, unable to close the gap, and bearing the weight of sin. But God doesn’t wait. He moves first. Through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God pays the price for sin and opens the door to restored relationship. Reconciliation isn’t humanity’s achievement; it’s God’s initiative. And now Paul tells the Corinthians this same reconciliation has been entrusted to them. Their restoration isn’t the finish line. It’s the starting line.
