2 Cor. 5:18• 18And they all [are] of God that reconciled us to himself by Christ and gave to us the ministry of the reconciliation: (2 Cor. 5:18)
• All this flowed from an immense and all-powerful truth. God was in Christ. But then, in order that others might have a part with him, and the Apostle be the minister of this, it was also necessary that Christ should be made sin for us. One of these truths presents the character in which God has drawn nigh to us; the other, the efficacy of that which has been wrought for the believer. (“2 Corinthians 4” by J.N. Darby)
• When the Son of Man was cast out of the world, when it is no longer God in Christ reconciling the world and rising above every offense, He put the word of the reconciliation in chosen vessels; and as we have had the character of God's action in Christ in the days of His flesh, so here follows their character as sent out to testify of Him.

The true reason has nothing to do with its emphatic position, and simply is that the word is used characteristically, and hence, though we cannot so express it in English, more forcibly than if "the" world were presented as an objective fact.
