The Pilgrim Path---II Corinthians 5: 20 (2—8—24)

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be reconciled to God.

“AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST…”

It is so natural to have life focus on me. But the Gospel is supernatural---it turns the attention of my heart and will to Jesus Christ. To be here for Him---is to begin to live…

From St. John Chrysostom: To acknowledge Christ in words alone, therefore, while in our works we defy Him, is both pointless and destructive. Consequently, I plead with you: let us acknowledge Christ in our deeds! Then He will also acknowledge us on the last day, when---in the presence of His Father---He will acknowledge those who are praiseworthy in Christ Jesus our Lord, through whom and with whom be glory to the Father and to the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages. Amen.
