Thought for Today: “Ambassadors for Christ”
We are living in a world that is filled with trouble and confusion, and it is going downhill fast.
The difficulty is that politicians and activists are trying to deal with it in their own power. They are trying to solve the same problems that have existed since the beginning of time. Unfortunately, they are no closer to solving them now as they were back then.
The world, however, is under God’s wrath, because it has turned away from God, and thus it has been bringing about its own demise.
The world’s supreme need and only hope is the gospel message of Jesus Christ. And as believers in Jesus, we are the method God has chosen to get this message out. We are called to be ambassadors and representatives of God’s kingdom to the world.
“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)
Today ask the Holy Spirit to open up a door of opportunity to share this wonderful news, and let’s start being the ambassadors God has called for us to be.
