We looked at the Messiah that way once and got it all wrong, as you know. We certainly don\u2019t look at him that way anymore. Now we look inside, and what we see is that anyone united with the Messiah gets a fresh start, is created new. The old life is gone; a new life burgeons! Look at it! All this comes from the God who settled the relationship between us and him, and then called us to settle our relationships with each other. God put the world square with himself through the Messiah, giving the world a fresh start by offering forgiveness of sins. God has given us the task of telling everyone what he is doing. We\u2019re Christ\u2019s representatives. God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God\u2019s work of making things right between them. We\u2019re speaking for Christ himself now: Become friends with God; he\u2019s already a friend with you.2 Corinthians 5:19-20 MSG<\/p>\n<p>Psalm 67:1-7<br \/>\nThe Message (MSG)<br \/>\n67 1-2   God, mark us with grace<br \/>\n    and blessing!
