How can the “Ministry of reconciliation” make sense if Jesus has supposedly reconciled us to an evil God? I.e. why did he bother?!
2 Corinthians 5
16Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we
him no more.
17Therefore if any man
be in Christ,
he isa new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18And all things
are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
