Romans 5:9-11
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Reflection
The Apostle Paul tells us that at one time we were the enemies of God. But that has all been changed through the coming of Jesus and the shedding of his blood on the cross. We can rejoice in Jesus because we have received the gift of reconciliation.
God loves us that much! That is a reality that can’t be kept to ourselves. We have been reconciled and saved but we are also sent. We are sent to the people in our lives who haven’t received the good news of reconciling love that is given to us in Jesus.
Do you know anyone who needs to receive Christ’s reconciliation? Have you shared the love of Jesus with them?
