WE ARE CHRIST’S AMBASSADORS

2 Corinthians 5:11-6:2

Key Verse: 5:20

1.  Read verses 11-15. How might the Corinthians have misunderstood Paul, and what was his real intention? (11-13) What compelled Paul to love them so much? (14) How did Christ show his love for us? How should we live from now on? (15)

2.  Read v. 16-17. How did receiving God’s love change Paul’s view of Christ and others? What happens to those who are in Christ? What does “the old has gone, the new has come” mean? (Jn5:24; Col1:13; Ro6:4) How should we now view ourselves and others? 

3.  Read v. 18-20. What has God done through Christ, and what ministry and message has he committed to us? (18b-19) When we accept this, what new identity do we have? (20a) What attitude should we have as Christ’s ambassador? What appeal is God making through us? (20b) 

4.  Read v. 21. What did the Holy Son of God do for our reconciliation? (21a; Isa53:4-6) What happens to us when we accept this? (21b) Read 6:1-2. In light of this reconciliation, what was Paul’s final appeal? How should we respond to God’s gracious invitation?
