OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 FEBRUARY 2023 BIBLE READING 2 CORINTHIANS 5:18-21

[18]And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

[19]To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

[20]Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.

[21]For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 26 FEBRUARY 2023 MESSAGE

Reconciliation means the restoration of relationships. For reconciliation to take place, there must have been a breakdown in a relationship. Jesus is a vessel of reconciliation between the world and God. You can also be a vessel of reconciliation by settling disputes among friends and family members.

As children of God, we cannot afford to be in a place where there is chaos. We are supposed to represent God wherever we are and bring peace. However, you have to be reconciled with God before you can be a vessel of reconciliation.

A vessel of reconciliation would settle disputes, not sow discord amongst friends and brethren in the church. You should be able to reconcile sinners or backsliders to God, the same way you reconcile friends who havea dispute.

For example, if your mother and one of your siblings have a misunderstanding, as a child of God, settle the misunderstanding and don’t take sides with one party: that makes you a vessel of reconciliation.
