Bible Verse of The Day – 8-4-23

2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV) 20 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.

As Paul penned these words, he stated that he was an ambassador for Christ.

What is an ambassador?

Ambassador: an accredited diplomat sent by a king or a nation as its official representative to a foreign country.

In Paul’s case, he was an ambassador for the ultimate King; the God of heaven, the Maker of all we see.

As children of God, we are also ambassadors for Christ, tasked with sharing God’s love and His message of redemption to others we encounter.

This is not always easy, but it is imperative for us to understand the importance of doing this.

We may never know the impact we have on the lives of others for the kingdom of God.

Being a good ambassador does not always mean carrying out great feats that draw a lot of attention or receive much fanfare.

Most times it is more likely to be small things done quietly that draw little or no attention.

These things may seem insignificant to us when we do them. But their effects can be much bigger than we understand. Sometimes the impact of what we do may take time to play out fully. And we may never know or understand what this means.

So, we need to be careful not to ignore God’s promptings or simply blow it off, thinking that it won’t matter.

Remember; ambassadors are never in it for glory. They tend to do things that get little recognition, letting their king or their nation receive accolades instead.

Let us also be this kind of ambassador, for the King of kings and the Lord of lords, Jesus Christ, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
