Introduction

Paul reminds the Corinthians that God has made all human beings his friends through Christ and that all who follow Christ have died to sin and have been given new life.

Today’s Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:17

Anyone who is joined to Christ is a new being; the old is gone, the new has come.

Today’s Reading 

2 Corinthians 5:11-21

Reflect

What does it mean to you to be joined to Christ as a new being? Reread verse 18. What has God done? What task has God given to us? With whom will you share the friendship of Christ today?

Pray

Gracious God, fill me with your courage, that I may know your presence with me now and forever. Through Christ, you have made me your friend so that I may live in union with you. Amen.
