Summary: <br> The Cross of Christ Unites. . .God’s Mercy and Love<br> Steps to Take as You Follow Christ<br> Ask—When have I judged someone wrongly?<br> Seek—Do you need to be reconciled to someone in your life? It might be someone in your family, a former friend, an enemy, or even God. Go to confession; through the grace of absolution, seek to trust in God more and more.<br> Knock—Meditate on 2 Corinthians 5:16–18.<br> From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once regarded Christ from a human point of view, we regard him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself. . .<br> How do you view others?<br> Transform Your Life—See the temptation to judge others or even yourself as a personal invitation to take up your cross and to trust in Christ, the friend of sinners. Pray that God will bless both you and those you might judge. Be quick to show the mercy that God shows to you to others.<br> <a href="http://amywelborn.com/Michael_Dubruiel.html" rel="attachment wp-att-21024"></a><br> The author of “<a href="http://amywelborn.com/Michael_Dubruiel.html" target="_blank">The Power of the Cross: Applying the Passion of Christ in Your Life“</a>, Michael Dubriuel, passed away in 2009.
