His is a Ministry of Reconciliation – to God and with others
“So from now on, we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though once we regarded Christ in that way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old is gone and the new has come. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself in Christ; and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, that God was reconciling the world to himself through Christ, not counting men’s sins against them.”
2 Corinthians 5:16-19
