2 Corinthians 5:20 states, "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God." Let's take an in-depth look at this verse, considering: Who is pleading? What is the setting for that pleading? What is being plead, and who must change as a response to that pleading? We can then better appreciate the beauty of the purposes of God and what He is accomplishing in people's lives.
