Sunday 14 th September 2014

2 Corinthians  Paul’s defence of himself & his plans  What should Christian ministry look like?  Redefines what a ‘successful Christian’ is (Rebekah)  We start to smell (Dorian)  Looking beyond the ‘seen’ and beyond this life (last one in July)

 Means  Motive  Opportunity  Ministry = διακον ί αν = service (e.g. serve food)  Reconciliation = καταλλαγ ή = working to restore relationship

11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The ld has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 6 1 As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain. 2 For he says, “In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation.

 Persuasion (5v11) NB not pressure!

 God’s PERSUADERS (5v11) NB not pressure!  God’s AMBASSADORS (5v20)  God’s FELLOW-WORKERS (6v1)

 Fear of the Lord (5v11)  Christ’s LOVE (5v14-15)  Transformed perspective (5v16-17)  The message of reconciliation (5v17-21)

 NOW is the time of God’s favour, now is the day of salvation!  “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” Jesus (Mat 9:37-38)
