From Reformed to Reformers
"So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once
regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ,
he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who
reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
That God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins
against them.
And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore
Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal through us. We
implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made Him who knew no
sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." 2
Cor. 5:16-21 NIV.
You could spend the remainder of your life trying to wrap your heart and mind
around these glorious truths! Don't try! Just let Him be who He already is in and
through you today.
The result: His righteousness as opposed to self-righteousness, the old-history
gone; cast into the sea of forgetfulness, a heavenly point of view and perspective
on all you see and don't see today, being a human being instead of working to
become a human doing... rest, shalom, and quiet-instead of stressors you cannot
change. You can deduce the rest...reconciliation, and purpose in being an
ambassador of Christ! He is the true reformer!
As we embrace by faith the true re-former--Jesus; we will be formed into all He
is. And He is always-at all times-a powerful reformer. Then everything around you
will change, transition will occur, and it won't look anything like what you can guess
it will be. But, it will be Him and you will then, be on His mission!' Nurtured in His
