Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled.
Jesus died so that you and I could be reconciled.
2 Corinthians 5:18-19
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. (NIV Bible)

The good news that Jesus Christ brought to us is the ultimate message of reconciliation. It is the story of a loving Father, broken hearted over the separation of the family that He created. It is the story of His loving Son, who couldn't bear to see His Father's pain and offered up His own life as a ransom for many.
The death of Jesus enabled the entire world to come back home to God. This was the Father's plan from the beginning...to be reconciled to us and to restore all that had been lost as a result of man's fall in the Garden of Eden.
Through the work of the cross, we now can come to the Father in Jesus, through Jesus, and by Jesus. We are not His slaves, but His sons. The curtain that once separated us from a Holy God has been torn in two from the top down. We are no longer His enemies, but have an open invitation to become His children!
Many people think that Jesus is the buffer between us and God. Many believe that Jesus is even shielding us from His Father's wrath. The truth is that it was the Father who sent Jesus to the world in the first place so that we might be fully reconciled to His heart. And Jesus came willingly in order that He might provide the way for us to come home to His Father (John 14:6).
If we have believed in Jesus Christ and accepted His gift of salvation, we can be assured that we are fully reconciled to our Father.
PRAYER
Father, I thank You that Jesus made a way for me to be fully reconciled with You. As a wayward child makes the journey home, today I return into Your loving arms of acceptance and restoration. This is where I belong and this is where I was destined to dwell all the days of my life. In the name of Your beloved Son Jesus I pray, AMEN.
