2 Corinthians 5:11-21 1. You can’t have the love of Christ without his resurrection. -Paul endured afflication (ch. 1) -The church must properly handle discipline and accountability (ch. 2) -In the Old Covenant, these things are glorious—but unto death; in the New Covenant, they are more glorious because they are unto life (ch. 3) -the perfect light of the gospel comes through frail vessels (ch. 4). The upside-down gospel creates upside-down ministry. (vv. 11-13). 2. Begin the life of the resurrection now! Those saved by the gospel become those shaped by the gospel. 3. Look at yourself, look at everyone through the resurrection! καινὴ κτίσις/kaine ktisis: New creation -removes the “evidence” of the old, -provides a whole new way to think, measure, and value. 4a. The reconciled are reconcilers; evangelize the lost! 4b. The reconciled are reconcilers; give them a hearing! Christianity is just one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread. (Isaiah 55:1) 5. Please, get right with God! Christ, having no sin of his own, becomes a sin offering, so that you, having no righteousness of your own, may become righteous.
