An Ambassador
The Apostle Paul writes,
“All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:18-20
As believers in Christ Jesus we should always remember what the apostle Paul is saying here
“We are therefore Christ's ambassadors,
as though God were making his appeal through us.”
2 Corinthians 5:20.
If you claim to be a Christian. A true believer in Christ Jesus you must always remember you are Christs representative on this Earth. People will see Christ through what you say and do.
St. Augustine said,
"A Christian is:
a mind through which Christ thinks,
a heart
through which Christ loves,
a voice
through which Christ speaks,
and
a hand through which Christ helps"
St. Augustine
Francis of Assisi put it this way,
"The deeds you do
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today"
Francis of Assisi.
Thus my question, What are your words and deeds telling those around you about Christ?
Please think about it.
