TOPIC: Be An Advocate of Reconciliation

TEXT: 2 Corinthians 2:1-13(NKJV)

Daily Fountain Devotional 3 August 2022 MESSAGE

In this passage, Paul recalls his sorrowful letter to the Corinthians. He reminds them that he intended to provoke them to repentance and conversion through his letter. It was not to cause them pain, but to let them know of his love for them (vv. 1-4).

He also asked them to forgive the member of the Church whom they had punished for some serious offences. He wanted them to restore such a person, thus exercising the ministry of reconciliation.

According to him, by so doing, Satan would not have opportunity to exploit the Church (vv. 5-11) Paul further maximised every opportunity he had to preach Christ, even when his expectation was not met; he moved forward from place to place (vv. 12-13). Christians are to learn a great lesson from Paul’s ministry as an advocate of reconciliation.

We should desire to bridge the contact between parties in the body of Christ. While we condone discipline, effort should be made to restore such a member after genuine repentance.

Forgiveness and repentance should also be our watchword; this will bring comfort among brethren and Christ’s kingdom would be greatly expanded here on earth.

PRAYER: Teach your Church, O Lord, to uphold the ministry of reconciliation, so that we may enjoy the fellowship of the brethren through Jesus Christ. Amen.
