2 Corinthians 5
For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, 3 if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. 4 For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 He who has prepared us for this very thing is God,
Who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.
The Ministry of Reconciliation
11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.
16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard Him thus no longer.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
As we go through life, whether we are indulged and dissatisfied or simply living with great gratitude, we do judge our lives as well lived or not worth living. Very Marvelous indeed, the Scripture immediately speaks of the levels of courage life requires. Jesus assures us even if our social media is immaculate and filled with celebratory confetti of joy and effervescence, we all have those situations we wish we did not have.
God even goes further with the idea of Bro and Poser, larping, NPC the youths recognize as glaring insincerity.
Julius Caesar confronted bravery. The ancient Gallic Wars, Gauls of France.
"The cardinal doctrine which they seek to teach is that souls do not die, but after death pass from one to another; and this belief, as the fear of death is thereby cast aside, they hold to be the greatest incentive to valour." — Julius Caesar, De Bello Gallico, Book VI, Chapter 14
1 Corinthians 5 immediately sets aside the idea of death for the cause. God never asked for human sacrifice. This lack of Human Sacrifice: One of the Absolute Reveals in the Nature of God and the Holy Spirit. The Lord is saying Ambassador. Reconciliation. Not nutty murder or nutty behavior. Not armies of death. The Chapter is not about sending Crusades.
The Ambassador nature of a Loving Father in the Lord has a very concrete boundary: He reconciles the world to.... Himself. The Lord does not suddenly ask for human sacrifice. Or wars to kill the infidel. Jesus never joined the gang of zealots, hairshirts, John The Baptist diet and clothing, the 350 aspects of the Torah, Temple Enthrallment, prostitutes or demons. Jesus as God led the way to better, abundant, hopeful and Loving Life forever. And in this rigorous love for God, Jesus led the Nation of Israel to change the world.
In the Freedom God gives us, we are free to make our choices and be the person we want to be. Relying upon The Lord in His Grace upon Grace Mercy.
Isaiah 49: 1-7
Listen to me, O coastlands,
and give attention, you peoples from afar.
The Lord called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword;
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow;
in his quiver he hid me away.
3 And he said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”
4 But I said, “I have labored in vain;
I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;
yet surely my right is with the Lord,
and my recompense with my God.”
5 And now the Lord says,
He who formed me from the womb to be His servant,
to bring Jacob back to Him;
and
that Israel might be gathered to Him—
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength—
6 He says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
I will make you as a Light for the nations,
that My Salvation
may reach
to
the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
“Kings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord,
Who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel,
Who has chosen you.”
