Where Jesus is First, Second Chances Abound

In 2 Corinthians 5, Paul talked about the Good News of Jesus being about reconciliation with God. In chapters 6 and 7 Paul applies that ministry of reconciliation to his own relationship with the Corinthians. Through a process of rebuke, repentance, and reconciliation their relationship was made even stronger through Jesus' grace. If Jesus can make new creations out of us, in love we are also called to offer others the grace of a second chance.
