Giving your life to Jesus isn't a
"one and done" deal.
For many of us we first come to Jesus as a savior.
We received the forgiveness of our sins and the promise of eternal life.
Perhaps next, out of gratitude,
we make Jesus our Lord.
We seek to honor him with every area of our lives.
But for some the journey is still not over.
As we follow Jesus we pick up the mantle of his mission,
and join in the "ministry of reconciliation."
"All this is from God,
who reconciled us to himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation."
2 Corinthians 5:18
This Sunday we'll look at, what form many, is the third conversion-
embracing our role in the ministry of reconciliation and becoming ambassadors of Jesus.
Each week of Lent we'll draw closer to Easter.
Each week will shed light on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Why did Jesus have to die?
How is his death essential for salvation?
What difference does the resurrection make in our lives and in our world?
