Paul is really messing me up in 2 Corinthians.

Seriously.

Chapters three and four set me up. He caught me looking one way then, BAM!, he slapped me with chapter five. And, the funny thing is, he didn’t tell me anything new. He simply retold me what he’s told me before.

I think it was his feign to the left that didn’t let me see the sledgehammer coming from the right…

…God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us…

Yeah, yeah, I know you’ve read it before. I dare you to stop reading and really think about it. In some circles that might be called meditation. So, go meditate on it and see what you come up with.
