Paul's Joy

City on a Hill: Melbourne West

Reconciliation must be grounded in commitment and truth, resting in God's comfort, godly repentance, and gospel encouragement. You need in your life God-centered friends, God-centered counsellors, and God-centered words. When we get wounded by those close to us, even those within the church, we ought to run to the Father. Jesus knew betrayal and oppression, and he had the power to call down legions of angels to fight for him...yet he chose to pray to the Father, forgive his enemies, and become obedient even to death on a cross.
