2 Corinthians 5:14-16

“From now on we regard no one according to the flesh” Paul says, but too often we do exactly that. We live in a performance-based culture. We are a driven people, as such, we praise success but starve out defeat. We find it nearly impossible to see people the way that God does, but God loves the world. He loves the redeemed and the reprobate. He loves you if you’re successful, or crushed in spirit. If we are successful in serving as ministers of reconciliation, we’ve got to see people like God does.
