Scripture of The Day
Therefore we are ambassadors of the Messiah; in effect, God is making his appeal through us. What we do is appeal on behalf of the Messiah, “Be reconciled to God!” 2 Corinthians 5:20 (CJB)
Have you ever considered yourself an ambassador? Generally speaking, an ambassador is a respected official acting as a representative of a nation. Sent to a foreign land, the ambassador’s role is to reflect the official position of the sovereign body that gave him authority.
According to God’s Word you have been given authority, you are approved by God to be entrusted with the “Good News”, the Gospel. (I Thessalonians 2:4) It is important for you to know that as we all go through this world, we represent another Kingdom. (John 18:36). It is exciting to me to know that my responsibility is to reflect the “official position” of heaven. We are in this world, but not of it. (John 17:16)
God’s ambassadors are to be “as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we must take the message of our King to the ends of the earth, imploring men and women everywhere to be reconciled to God.
As Christ’s ambassadors, we have been chosen to live on earth, representing heaven. As citizens of heaven, we have a different Lord and ruler with heavenly laws and principles. The Ruler of Heaven is not bound by laws of earth; He is able to heal, bring the dead to life and make the natural supernatural; He is only looking for hearts which are willing and surrendered to His lordship.
