Ambassadors For Christ

"So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making His appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." (2 Corinthians 5:20 NRSV)
We need to re-present Jesus to a world where Christ is often just a four-letter word, or at best just a good moral teacher or a prophet. Mr. or Ms. Ambassador, how are you re-presenting Christ to the world around you - to your neighbours, your co-workers, your school system, your community? Are you re-presenting Christ as the only Son of God, the Lord of the Universe, the Hope of the World? That would reconcile people to God.
- Rev. David T. Wilkinson
