Spend time in prayer and silence with God asking Him to meet with you and speak to you.
Bible Reading
For God was pleased to have His fullness dwell in Him (Jesus), and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, she on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation.
– Colossians 1:19-22
Devotional
Jesus not only came to reveal the Father to us, He also came to reconcile us to God. Paul puts it this way in 2 Corinthians chapter five, “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 men’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. God made Him who had no son to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.” Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost. Jesus came to reconcile mankind to God.
The Big Question
Notice how many times the word reconcile is used in the above passage. This signifies two estranged parties being brought back together. Jesus entered into human history in the form of a man in order to reveal God to us and to reconcile us to the Father. Are you a new creation in Christ? Have you put your faith in the God/man Jesus? How have these verses broadened your understanding of Jesus?
Conclude your time in prayer and silence reflecting on what God revealed to you today.
