God's Person?

S

it could be a lot of things

S for Steve, Stephen, Stevie

Stephen Paul if I'm in trouble

S for self

in search of self

S

is cooler than Steve

which reminds me

of some 50's

sitcom character

the nice guy

in the cardigan

with highwater slacks and

black shoes

Stevie, the skinny little guy

in black plastic glasses

big ears

and a crew cut

bony knees

total geek

a bit out of sync

with the guys with hair

in

yes

those places

who have left their mothers behind

Stephen

ah yes

once the earnest young

philospher, theologian

going to be

a star someday

read

listened to admired

now, no longer so hopeful

but still hoping

to make a difference somewhere

God’s person???

2 Cor 5:16-20: So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

In Christ we are God's people

In Christ there is always hope!
