Ambassadors

I heard a Christian writer speaking on the radio last night mention that we need to remember who we are and Whose we are.  That was powerful.  Often, we are bullied as Christians and become timid.  But we need to be reminded that we are a child of the King!  And as a child of the King, each day we should represent our King.  We are not citizens of this world; we are citizens of heaven.  And as ambassadors from our King, we should stand tall as we represent Him to people of this world.  We should not be intimidated; we should be a faithful witness for our King.  Jesus, God’s Son, was sent to this world, and like Jesus, we should be God’s emissary to this world.  Paul said in II Corinthians 5:20, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.”  Let’s not be too drawn into this world and it’s materialistic system; let’s be faithful ambassadors.  We have a high calling!  Don’t forget who you are and Whose you are.
