There are so many great verses to focus on in today's passage.
A few, in particular, really jumped out at me, and they are actually related to each other quite well.....
And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. (5:15)
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come. (5:17)
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. (5:20a)
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (4:7)
When we become born again, we are a new creation. The Holy Spirit gives us a new life which is under direction of a new Master! We no longer live for ourselves. We live to give glory to God. As His ambassadors, we are His representatives to a world desperate for the Good News. But we cannot do it on our own strength - this power comes from God!
These verses just say it so well, I really don't have much to add. Except the challenge to walk the talk!
Tomorrow's passage: 2 Corinthians 6:14-10:18
