WE ARE AMBASSADORS

 
2 Corinthians 5:20


"We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God." NIV


"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." KJV


What a shame it is that many Christians lack the spiritual depth to understand they are representing Christ Himself here on earth. We may be the only way others can know that God loves them and learn the Way to eternal life. Our spirituality was never meant to be a personal, private thing. It is meant to go for Christ's sake to tell the Gospel to others and show the world how He wants us to live.


Heavenly Father, Oh how we fall short of our responsibility as Your ambassadors. Forgive us and help us to take up the burden of appealing to others that they come to You. That is the great commission to us, help us to be worthy of that calling. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
