Reconciled

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:17-21

A common emotional response which a divorced person experiences is grief. No matter how relieved they may be to have the issue settled, grief is an instant companion. For that person, a special hope and ideal has just suffered a mortal wound. Can you imagine the grief experienced by one who knew another in an intimate relationship and, in the darkest moment of their life, realized that the other had turned their back on them?

For our benefit, that’s what happened when Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins. God the Father - with Whom Jesus had existed for eternity - turned His back. The rejection was unbearable. From Jesus’ body erupted the haunting cry, “My God, My God, Why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46

Out of that heart-rending moment came God’s provision for building relationships with every man, woman, boy, and girl. He extended His hand to bring us back to Himself. Have you accepted Him?

Think about it -
The cross is a continuous affair.
