2 Corinthians 5:19
_ _ God was in Christ, reconciling — that is, God was BY Christ (in virtue of Christ’s intervention) reconciling,” etc. Was reconciling” implies the time when the act of reconciliation was being carried into effect (2 Corinthians 5:21), namely, when “God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for us.” The compound of “was” and the participle “reconciling,” instead of the imperfect (Greek), may also imply the continuous purpose of God, from before the foundation of the world, to reconcile man to Himself, whose fall was foreseen. The expression “IN Christ” for “by Christ” may be used to imply additionally that God was IN Christ (John 10:38; John 14:10), and so by Christ (the God-man) was reconciling ... The Greek for “by” or “through” Christ (the best manuscripts omit “Jesus”), 2 Corinthians 5:18, is different. “In” must mean here in the person of Christ. The Greek Katallasson implies “changing” or altering the judicial status from one of condemnation to one of justification. The atonement (at-one-ment), or reconciliation, is the removal of the bar to peace and acceptance with a holy God, which His righteousness interposed against our sin. The first step towards restoring peace between us and God was on God’s side (John 3:16). The change therefore now to be effected must be on the part of offending man, God the offended One being already reconciled. It is man, not God, who now needs to be reconciled, and to lay aside his enmity against God (Romans 5:10, Romans 5:11). (“We have received the atonement” [Greek, reconciliation], cannot mean “We have received the laying aside of our own enmity”). Compare Romans 3:24, Romans 3:25.
_ _ the world — all men (Colossians 1:20; 1 John 2:2). The manner of the reconciling is by His “not imputing to men their trespasses,” but imputing them to Christ the Sin-bearer. There is no incongruity that a father should be offended with that son whom he loveth, and at that time offended with him when he loveth him. So, though God loved men whom He created, yet He was offended with them when they sinned, and gave His Son to suffer for them, that through that Son’s obedience He might be reconciled to them (reconcile them to Himself, that is, restore them WITH JUSTICE to His favor) [Bishop Pearson, Exposition of the Creed].
_ _ hath committed unto us — Greek, “hath put into our hands.” “Us,” that is, ministers. |
2 Corinthians 5:19
Namely — The sum of which is, God — The whole Godhead, but more eminently God the Father. Was in Christ, reconciling the world — Which was before at enmity with God. To himself — So taking away that enmity, which could no otherwise be removed than by the blood of the Son of God. |
2 Corinthians 5:19
