The ministry of Christ is not a ministry of judgment, but of reconciliation. For that reason he says: “The Son of man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” Again: “God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.” The same truth is expressed in these words: “All things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and gave unto us the ministry of reconciliation; to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation. We are ambassadors therefore on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us; we beseech you on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled to God.”
