FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT - 2013


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.
