We often view reconciliation and separation as two experiences that could never co-exist, yet in the gospel we learn that reconciliation requires separation. While we can emphasize one over the other in our own lives, we need to learn with God's help how to live in the tension of both realities. And in Jesus, we find this to be possible.

The gospel of what God has done through Christ to give us everlasting life with Him, satisfy every charge against us and every desire of our souls is what Paul has been preaching to the Corinthians, but they were in danger of becoming numb and apathetic to it. Just like they once looked at Jesus in human terms, the Corinthians were now looking at their lives as messengers of reconciliation in human terms, and it looked small and weak and utterly undesirable. And as they lived half-heartedly between the kingdom of this world and the kingdom of God, it wasn't just their affections for and experience of God's costly grace that were being clammed up, but their message of reconciliation as well. And so here in 2 Corinthians 6:1-13, Paul opens his life wide open to show us that a life of reconciliation is a life wholeheartedly worth living and displaying to the world.

The gospel reconciles to God and each other. This ministry of reconciliation has to be both theologically driven and practical for us to experience the fullness of our reconciliation through Jesus.

Life is difficult and our suffering can feel down right crushing at times. We all are either heading into or heading out of a season of suffering. The real question in life is not if we suffer but when. Since suffering comes to us all, how do we suffer well? How do we honor God during seasons of pain? Thankfully, we get to learn from Paul who suffered well for Jesus and others.

We can be tempted to think of our weakness as evidence that God isn’t at work in our circumstances. In 2 Corinthians chapter 4, Paul begins to apply the beautiful truths of the new covenant to our situation as sinners in a fallen world. He was us to see that our weakness is actually an essential element of God’s work in our lives and his display of his power and glory to the world.

Boldness can be a dangerous thing. In fact, when it comes to sinful people approaching a perfect God and being in the presence of perfect glory, boldness will get you killed! Yet Paul tells us he is that bold and that we can be, too. Listen as Paul tells us how the glory of the gospel gives us great boldness with God, and in turn, with each other and with the world.

Have you ever struggled to understand how we are supposed to live as Christians in light of the Old Testament Law? If you have, you're not alone. Ever since the beginning of the church, this has been the source of many conflicts and misunderstandings. Thankfully, God's Word speaks to us on this issue of how we are to live now in light of His great love and grace toward us.

What's so new about the New Covenant God has made with us through Jesus. The difference is not just that God relates to us differently now; the difference is life-altering in how we relate to Him. Jesus has done for us what we could never do for ourselves, and He has changed everything. This New Covenant gives us new confidence to approach God.
