"Ambassador of Reconciliation"

JR Sumera & Dian Aquino • Anniversary 2018 • We're all called to be ambassadors in Christ to carry the message of reconciliation. Our youth leader, JR Sumera, and Young Adult Leader, Dian Aquino, explains the heart of God's message – to be restored back into a relationship with Him. "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, 'Come back to God!' For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ." 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 • September 9, 2018
