LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

We are heirs of God, and fellow-heirs with Christ:
if we share his suffering now,
in order to share his splendour hereafter.
The sufferings we now endure:
bear no comparison
with the splendour to be shown to us.
The created universe itself waits with eager longing:
for the children of God to be revealed.

New Testament Reading - Be reconciled to God

thumb

16So stop evaluating Christians by what the world thinks about them or by what they seem to be like on the outside. Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, merely as a human being like myself. How differently I feel now! 17When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!

18All these new things are from God who brought us back to himself through what Christ Jesus did. And God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come into his favor and be reconciled to him. 19For God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself, no longer counting men’s sins against them but blotting them out. This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others. 20We are Christ’s ambassadors. God is using us to speak to you: we beg you, as though Christ himself were here pleading with you, receive the love he offers you — be reconciled to God.

. . . . . 2 Corinthians 5:16-20

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your people,
And kindle in us the fire of your love.
