This year’s quarterlies are dedicated to what the apostle Paul called “the ministry of reconciliation.” What is reconciliation and this essential ministry? The exciting truth is revealed in one of the Bible’s most profound passages: 2 Corinthians 5:14 — 6:2.
The Author of the ministry of reconciliation is our heavenly Father. In the first quarter we praised and exalted Him: for “all things are of God” (v. 18). We learned who God is as our loving Father, the ground and source of all good relationships.
In the second quarter we focus on the center of the message of reconciliation: Jesus Christ. The lessons study what God has done through Christ: “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us . . .” (v. 21). We will learn what Jesus accomplished as the Prince of Peace, the healer of all relationships.
The quarterly design has changed in 2020, so be sure to let us know what you think. Order copies through email (bap.orders@cog7.org) or online at https://cog7.org/online-store/.
