2nd Corinthians 5:17-21
Paul is stating one of the fundamental principles of the Christian Faith in this little piece today. It is quite simply, if we belong to Christ, are at one with Him, then we are part of His new creation. This demands we view the world through new eyes. It’s a world where hope is found and reconciliation, brought for us in Christ’s death on the cross becomes the new reality. Remember he was writing this to a community which was always at loggerheads with itself.
