2 Corinthians 5:18-19; The Gospel Band

2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

It is a great privilege that God bestows upon us to share the word of reconciliation in the Gospel of Christ. The Apostle Paul speaks of this privilege.

The late Pastor Dr Martyn Lloyn-Jones made this observation concerning the times.  We are living in these last times, the last of the last days, the last hour of human history before Jesus would come as Judge, no more as a Lamb, but the Lion from the tribe of Judah, he said, “There is no more urgent question for this present time than just this: What is Christianity? I say that because the gospel is the only hope in the world today. Everything else has been tried and found wanting. Everything else has failed. You will not find hope with the philosophers or with the statesmen, and you will not find it in the so-called religion. Here is hope and here alone.”

God has a redemption plan in Christ even before the creation of the world and He is faithful to fulfil that plan when Christ entered into human history to walk on this earth, the Lamb of God, living a sinless life, He was that sinless Lamb of God without spot and without blemish. How else can we be saved? But He was manifest in these last times for you – How else can we be saved except in Christ? Jesus only is God. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)

May the Lord bless His people with the burden to share the gospel. Be a part of the Gospel Band. Amen.
