(Fifth Sunday after Epiphany)

TOPIC: HE RECONCILED ALL THINGS

TEXT: Colossians 1:15 -20

BIBLE READING:

15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

INTRODUCTION

Jesus Christ made it all and Jesus Christ paid it all. He is responsible for the creation of all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible. He supervises the cohesive work and effort of all things. He is the head of the church, the firstborn from the dead. All fullness dwells in Him. When He created the world, everything was very good (Gen. 1:31). The devil came to the world to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus gives us life in abundance (John 10:10). What sin disrupted; Jesus restored.

Jesus made peace through the blood on the cross, thereby reconciling all things to himself, both things in heaven and on earth. His peace-making was to restore the harmony of the original creation Reconciliation means to bring back a former state of harmony (Strong  Concordance of New Testament words). It means a return to Jesus through his death on the cross, the disrupted relationship of mankind with  God. Therefore, when we take the responsibility of making peace, we are aligning ourselves with God's wonderful purpose by making Jesus the Lord of our lives and living daily for him. We have been given the ministry o reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:15, 18 -21).   Therefore,  once reconcile others to God.

Prayer: Thank you Lord for reconciling us to God through Your death on the cross. May we be part of your ministry of reconciliation. May we find peace with you. Amen.
