Reconciliation • John 9:4-17, 18-34 • Beyond Sunday Ep. 12
What would this world look like if we truly lived into reconciliation? What does this word ‘reconciliation’ even mean?
Take a few moments and envision difficult situations, hurting people, dissolving relationships, suddenly take a turn… you begin to see people loving God and people created in his image. Perhaps you start to see people differently? In your vision, perhaps you begin to see situations differently. You spout less blame and confess more ownership because you are seeing both sides. When prayers are saturated in God’s grace, we begin reflecting Christ’s Kingdom and God’s will being done – now! – here on earth as it is in Heaven. Friendships are mended, marriages healed, wars cease, and social discourse takes on an unprecedented civility, reflecting the honor humanity was created to express.
