This photo is called old and new. This photo reminds me of Paul's second letter to the church of Corinth.

Therefore if anyone
is in Christ,
he is a new creature;
the old things
passed away;
behold,
new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17


Paul is encouraging the church by literally saying as a matter of fact that the old has passed away factually (parerchomai) and now is new or recently made or fresh or recent or unused or unworn.

Now all these
things are from God,
who reconciled us
to Himself through Christ
and gave us the
ministry of reconciliation,
2 Corinthians 5:18


It is all about Christ and that he gave us the ministry or service opportunity of exchange. Ministry is service. It is one who executes the commands of others. That is the ministry Christ gave us. Other centered focus on bringing people to Jesus.

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.
2 Corinthians 5:19
