Acts Wednesday: Chapter 20, Reconciliation

Godโ€™s intent is to restore the earth and its inhabitants, and to reconcile everything to Himself. In keeping with that great mission, Paul sought to bring shalomโ€”peace, wholeness, communionโ€”to the body of Christ by initiating reconciliation between Jewish and Gentile believers.

The Way of Life

Man is in Godโ€™s image, and woman is in Godโ€™s image. But thatโ€™s not saying enough. God is three-in-one, He is plural, He lives in communion within Himself. So one person is not enough, whether male or female, to accurately display Godโ€™s image. No, it must be plural: People are Godโ€™s image. Thatโ€™s what God was saying about Himself.
