3/11 Monday in the Fourth Week of Lent


2 Corinthians 5:16-19

 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view;even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us.


An Offering from Chris Martin

Easy Nofemela stands in Guguletu, the area where he grew up. He is one of four men convicted in the murder of Amy Biehl, and one of two who now works for the charity that bears her name. Nofemela emerged from prison to become a community leader in Guguletu. The former soccer star coordinates the foundation’s instruction in soccer, cricket, field hockey and other sports.

Prayer
O God, the Father of all, whose Son commanded us to love
our enemies: Lead them and us from prejudice to truth:
deliver them and us from hatred, cruelty, and revenge; and in
your good time enable us all to stand reconciled before you,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen..
