Reflection of the Week - 24 March 2020

2 Corinthians 5:16-19

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them.

And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

It's me Lord
Standing in the need of prayer.
I want to change the world
but the world is waiting for me to change

Take all the old stuff
Renew and make it new stuff
Change my mind
Soften my heart

I've been trying to fit you into my world
I'm giving up
I want to fit into your world
I want to participate in you

So take this life
Align, define, remind, confine
And confound me
until I am in you

Only in you
has the reconciliation begun
the love revolution
the kingdom come

no-one
unloved.

While I claim no expert knowledge when it comes to sheep, I did find myself relating to Jesus in his role as the Good Shepherd in today's gospel (21st April).
