1 These are confusing times, what now?

2 哥林多后书 5:16-21Chinese New Version (Traditional) (CNVT)
16 所以，從今以後，我們不再按照人的看法認識人；雖然我們曾經按照人的看法認識基督，但現在不再這樣了。 17 如果有人在基督裡，他就是新造的人，舊事已經過去，你看，都變成新的了！ 18 這一切都是出於　神，他藉著基督使我們與他自己和好，並且把這和好的職分賜給我們， 19 就是　神在基督裡使世人與他自己和好，不再追究他們的過犯，並且把和好的道理託付了我們。 20 因此，我們就是基督的使者，　神藉著我們勸告世人。我們代替基督請求你們：跟　神和好吧！ 21  神使那無罪的替我們成為有罪的，使我們在他裡面成為　神的義。

3 2 Corinthians 5:16-21New International Version (NIV)
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

5 Luke 10 – The Good Samaritan
But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Good Samaritan Illustration [36] Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” [37] And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.”

8 Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 16 照樣，你們的光也應當照在人前，讓他們看見你們的好行為，又頌讚你們在天上的父。

10 2 Corinthians 5:18-19 [18]Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 18 這一切都是出於 神，他藉著基督使我們與他自己和好，並且把這和好的職分賜給我們， 19 就是 神在基督裡使世人與他自己和好，不再追究他們的過犯，並且把和好的道理託付了我們。
