Christians believe that being reconciled to Christ should lead to their being reconciled to others. Christ is the great peacemaker. But isn’t it also true that our being reconciled to someone we’ve been estranged from can lead to their being reconciled to Christ through us? Hmm. Are we Christians always as eager to experience reconcilation with others as we should be? Worth thinking about, don’t you agree?
