2 Corinthians 5 8-2 Corinthians 5 20
and we are confident and satisfied to be out of the body and at home with the Lord.Therefore, whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to be pleasing to Him.For we must all appear before the tribunal of Christ, so that each may be repaid for what he has done in the body, whether good or worthless.Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may have a reply for those who take pride in the outward appearance rather than in the heart.For if we are out of our mind, it is for God; if we have a sound mind, it is for you.For Christ’s love compels us, since we have reached this conclusion: If One died for all, then all died.And He died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the One who died for them and was raised.From now on, then, we do not know anyone in a purely human way. Even if we have known Christ in a purely human way, yet now we no longer know Him in this way.Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away, and look, new things have come.Everything is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:That is, in Christ, God was reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed the message of reconciliation to us.Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf,“ Be reconciled to God.”

Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before the Angel.So the Angel of the Lord spoke to those standing before Him,“ Take off his filthy clothes!” Then He said to him,“ See, I have removed your guilt from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”Then I said,“ Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the Angel of the Lord was standing nearby.Then the Angel of the Lord charged Joshua:“ This is what the Lord of Hosts says: If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, you will both rule My house and take care of My courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.“ Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring My servant, the Branch.
