Reconciling S2E3

Jesus reconciles us to Himself, starting with His gift of forgiveness. When we allow the Holy Spirit to show us the truth of who Jesus really is, who we really are, we have the choice to repent. Repentance produces joy as we let go of sin and embrace Jesus more closely. And from there, we start to experience the peace of Jesus that comes from being forgiven. This is the process of reconciliation. When two people who love Jesus willingly do this with Jesus, they grow in capacity to do this with each other. We can be truthful about the part we play in breaking the relationship. We can ask for forgiveness and we can give forgiveness. When two or more people truthfully forgive and seek forgiveness, reconciliation space gets created: genuine, honest, healing repairing of fractured relationships. This is how God creates sanctuary, bringing heaven to earth, all from forgiveness and reconciliation making transformation.
