Reconciled

 

In our office we have a daily routine.  Part of it involves comparing our existing data base of old information with the source of new information.  It is important that our data is up to date and 100% accurate.  The daily check we do is called "Reconciliation".  The word reconcile has a Latin root and comes from the two words "re" (again) and "concilare" (make friendly).  When we have some kind of discrepancy with our data we have to do a little research and find out why our data isn't "friendly" with the data source.  While we only have reconciliation problems occasionally in our database, as human beings we often are out of harmony with our Maker.  Fortunately, He is eager to correct this problem and has provided a means for us to be restored to Him.  Thankfully, we are "friendly again" with our Lord through the effective work of His Son.  Have you sensed the need to be "reconciled".  It starts with a awareness that something is missing and something just isn't right and there just must be a better way.

 

Romans 5:10 For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
