Being a Good Ambassador

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

            An ambassador stands as a representative for a higher power, such as a king or prime minister.  Good ambassadors change the world; bad ambassadors make the news.  So, if we are to be considered ambassadors for Christ here on earth… what makes a good ambassador?

            Ambassadors must be knowledgeable, show wise discretion, and have impeccable character.  A Christian who knows their Bible, knows how to speak (and when!), and shows themselves to be a trustworthy individual day in and day out is properly representing Jesus.  Inversely, if we don’t know our Bibles, don’t speak with wisdom and grace, and don’t act with integrity – the cause of Christ suffers.

            Many a person has begun their journey to Christ because they met a good ambassador for Jesus.  For many, your life may be the only Bible they will ever read.
