Now then, we are ambassadors for
Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s
behalf, be reconciled to God - 2 Corinthians
5:20.
God has called us as ambassadors
for Him. An ambassador is the one who represents his home country while
living and working in a foreign land. As our citizenship is in heaven, we are
the ambassadors of kingdom of heaven. For our citizenship is in heaven, from
which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ - Philippians 3:20.
Though we live in this world, we are not of the world as we are the citizens of
heaven. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world - John 17:16.
God has chosen us and appointed us as
ambassadors to bear fruit. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed
you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that
whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you - John 15:16. By carrying God's mind, let us represent God’s reconciling love to others. But we have
the mind of Christ - 1 Corinthians 2:16. We should also have a constant communication
with God as we are the ambassadors for Christ. Your ears shall hear a word behind you,
saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand or
whenever you turn to the left - Isaiah 30:21.
As ambassadors for Christ,
let us build the kingdom of God by spreading the gospel and living a life that reflects Christ. Give thanks to
the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done -Psalm
105:1. God has called us to go out to all the world and make disciples of all
nations. You are the light of the world - Mathew 5:14. Being the light of the
world and ambassadors for Christ, let us preach the gospel boldly. I may open my mouth boldly to make
known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that
in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak - Ephesians 6:19,20.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to do
great things in this world as Your ambassadors. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
