Reconcilliation 1. Instances A.
BETWEEN ESAU AND JACOB Genesis 33:4, 11 Then
Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and
kissed him. And they both wept…. Please take this gift I have brought you, for
God has been very gracious to me. I have more than enough.” And because Jacob
insisted, Esau finally accepted the gift. B.
BETWEEN SAUL AND DAVID: 1 Samuel 19:7 Afterward Jonathan called David and
told him what had happened. Then he brought David to Saul, and David served in
the court as before. C.
BETWEEN PILATE AND HEROD: Luke 23:12 (Herod and Pilate, who had been enemies
before, became friends that day.) 2. Attitued of the Natural
Man to God Romans 8:7-8 For the
sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it
never will. 8 That’s why those who are still under the control of
their sinful nature can never please God. 3. God’s Appeal to the
Sinner 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 So
we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for
Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who
never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made
right with God through Christ. 4. Reconciliation Through
Christ Romans 5:1,10 Therefore,
since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God
because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. … 10 For since our friendship with God was restored
by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be
saved through the life of his Son. Ephesians 2:16 Together
as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the
cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death. 5. The Sinner’s Part in
Reconcilliation Zechariah 1:3 Therefore,
say to the people, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.’ Jeramiah 4:1 “O Outline
