Ambassadors have been a part of history since the the first time two villages decided to interact with each other. As relationships between peoples have developed ambassadors have been sent back and forth to represent one community to another. They travel to act on behalf of their home country.
Here we are called ‘ambassadors for Christ’ to this sin darkened world. While all of us have a home country, that is not to be our primary affection. We are not called on to represent our country.
We are though called ambassadors for Christ, and THAT is an awesome responsibilty! When people see us how do we represent Christ on earth? Does our embassage here in on earth reflect well on my heavenly home? Do I appear as a citizen of heaven in this present world?
We all have notions of how people from certain countries behave. I am not going to mention them here, but they tend to be negative. The problem is that certain visitors live up the the unfortunate stereotypes.
What to people think of God’s kingdom when they see me in my day to day life?
