Serving as Christ’s Ambassadors – 2 Corinthians 4:16-5:21
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV
2 Corinthians 5:1-21 ESV
I. Living in tomorrow’s certainty today. – 4:16-18
- Staying on track.
- An Eternal Weight.
- So why don’t more of us find it?
1. We undervalue God’s glory by overvaluing our own.
2. We underappreciate God’s presenceby over-appreciating our own.
3. We overestimate what we can accomplish and underestimate what God can.
4. We long for the glory that rightfully belongs to God.
II. Our compelling motives. – 5:11-16
- Compelled by Awe.
- Compelled to speak.
- Which matters more to me: What others THINK or what God KNOWS?
- Compelled by the love of Christ
In Jesus’ death, all of us died.
In Jesus’ resurrection, all of us can now live!
In Jesus’ life, a new human reality emerges.
III. A New Start and a new role – 5:17-21
- A message of regeneration!
- A message of reconciliation!
- A message carried through ambassadors!
- A message of righteousness!
