An offer to be changed . . .C.O.F.F.E.E.

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. . . . Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 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. 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. (2 Corinthians 5:16-20)

It is an offer to be changed . . . remade . . . remolded . . . the new you and me! In this world, we are seeing all kinds of new products, new programs and new ideas . . . the new you . . . the new me! Products are constantly being rebranded. Stars acquire agents to change the way the public sees them with a new look and new image. Many times we even seek to change the way people perceive us.

Those of us who trust Christ as Lord and Savior were once made new by His grace and mercy. We are no longer seen as a sinner by the Savior. Therefore, we should no longer perceive ourselves or the world the same either. We now have a purpose . . . an eternal purpose. We are no longer here just for the world and its endeavors. We now represent Christ and are to offer Him to everyone we encounter . . . as simple as offering a cup of C.O.F.F.E.E. . . . so they too can be changed.

Be reconciled to Christ . . . . please!
