Re-Conciled!
2 Corinthians 5:11-21
RE-CONCILE: In the New Testament, the Greek word underneath the family of English words associated with reconciliation is taken from the accounting industry where coins were “exchanged”, and accounts were “reconciled.”
Mankind has long wondered about the grand questions of our existence. Where did we come from? Why are we here? How will this all end? Of course, the Bible offers a clear answer for anyone who will bother to read it. Another set of questions has to do with what went wrong and how can it be fixed? 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 provides a wonderful response to that.

Re-Conciled!
2 Corinthians 5:11-21
REDEMPTION: God is the One Who is redeeming humanity and restoring creation!
RECONCILIATION: We can be reconciled to God only through Jesus Christ, His Son, and our Savior!
RECONCILERS: We have been sanctioned by God to be engaged in the ministry of reconciliation. The message of reconciliation is ours to share, and the reality of reconciliation is ours to practice.
As mentioned before, reconciliation is not typically something we strive for in Western culture. Certainly, it ought to be stated that sometimes it is appropriate to leave a relationship. Some relationships are so unhealthy and toxic that no one ought to return to the abuse or endangerment. Overall, though, our culture has blessed the quick and painless elimination of any relationship that is fractured. We are encouraged to leave a friendship rather than to circle back and make amends. We feel blessed to walk away from any association that is more difficult than we initially imagined. Divorce is still far too common.
