The David Spoon Experience 5-25-23 Part 1

A) The Apostle Paul now makes a point that we need to be aware of. It’s about how we engage with one another. From now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. What that means in its most practical application is that you don’t think of people the way that you used to think of people. You think of people with the nature of Jesus.

B) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The oldest past, the new has come. That is Super Duper Fantastic. And I love it, and I live by it. But there’s a substantial difference for those people who are in Christ. In other words, when you walk in Christ, then you’re a new creature. When we don’t walk in Jesus or if we are not in Jesus, our old man, our old creature, is where we exist. We’re either in the Lord or not in the Lord. This isn’t eternity. This is practicality every day.

C) There are many great theological definitions for reconciliation. But one of my favorites is to make it right between the two. We have been given a ministry of reconciliation through Christ. With that gift, we are encouraged to communicate that truth to others. Every person who is a believer in Jesus Christ has the Ministry of Reconciliation as part of their lives.
