The Responsible, The Rebel, The Remarkable and Reconciliation

Sentence:

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:17&18

Collect:

May God our Creator, walk with us during this season of Lent. May we enter more deeply into the passion of Jesus and come to depend more completely on his Spirit, that we may live a life that shines with the light of the resurrected Christ. Amen.

Readings:

• 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
• Luke 15:1-3,11-32

2. What does this story teach us about God?
3. Can you identify times in your life when you have been the responsible? The rebel? The remarkable?
4. Are you willing to embrace the cost of allowing the Spirit to transform you to be more like the remarkable?
