Are you an Ambassador for Christ?

What is an Ambassador? This is what the dictionary says:



a diplomatic official of the highest rank, sent by one sovereign or state to another as its resident representative.



Now read this verse:



2 Corinthians 5:20



20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.



When you become a follower of Jesus you immediately become an ambassador. Now from what I read in this verse it does NOT say you may become, or if you want, or when you feel like it! It says WE ARE ambassadors for Christ!!

So we are officials of the highest rank, sent by Jesus, as a representative to tell live our lives like Jesus and to tell others about our great King!



What is our main job? To implore or beg or plead with others to be reconciled to God because sin has separated them from Him. We must tell them about Jesus and His shed blood for their sin so their relationship with God can be restored.



So here is the question for each of us....have we been the ambassador God wants us to be? It is a very important job given by God to each of us!
