Reconciliation.

Lord God Almighty, you are beforehand with men for you have reconciled yourself to the world through the cross, and beseech men to accept reconciliation. It is my responsibility to grasp your overtures of grace, for if you, the offended part, act first with the word of appeasement, I need not call in question you willingness to save, but must deplore my own foolish maliciousness. You have taught me the necessity of a Mediator, a Messiah, to be embraced in love with all my heart, as king to rule me, as prophet to guide me, as priest to take away my sin and death, and this by faith in your beloved Son who teaches me not to guide myself, not to obey myself, not to try to rule and conquer sin, but to cleave to the one who will do all for me.

Amen.
