God’s word has something truly amazing to say to us from 2 Cor 5:
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
This is huge!
Firstly, God’s got a massive plan of reconciliation, through Christ, to bring sinners back into relationship with him.
And amazingly, God has given us the privilege of representing Jesus Christ to our needy world.
He’s chosen you as the means through which he will bring people to be reconciled with him.
And even though you might feel supremely under-qualified for that task, remember this:

Our hope and prayer this year is that every member of CPE church is encouraged and empowered to be a part of someone’s story of salvation.
We want you to be encouraged this year that God can and will use you in his big plans of salvation, if you are willing.
And we want to help you take a small step to be a part of someone’s story.
