Scripture:
"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
Reflection:
As those who are called by the name
Christian, we are to see ourselves and live our lives as ambassadors
for Christ. An ambassador is a high-ranking, official representative.
We represent both the Kingdom and the King. What an awesome
responsibility we have been given. We are sent with a message that
that not only invites, but implores others to be reconciled to God
through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. As we examine our lives this
Lenten season, should ask ourselves, "Are there areas in my life
that are unbecoming of an ambassador of the King of kings?"
Prayer:
Lord, we are your representatives to those we meet and spend time with. Wherever we go, we go in an official capacity. We represent you; we represent your Kingdom. May we not bring dishonor to you by what we say or by what we do. May we not misrepresent you. For your sake, may we be found to be worthy ambassadors. Amen.
