Ambassadors Of Jesus Christ

I got a message from my friend Sam this morning. It went with what I had read earlier. Sam's message read,

     "Rom. 13:14 Living a holy life is as simple as getting dressed in the morning. What we "put on" may show how we see ourselves or wish to be seen. Got your Jesus on today?"

I was reading 2 Corinthian 5:20 "So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making His appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!"

What is an ambassador? An ambassador is the highest and most honorable representative sent to a foreign land to represent the King the serve. What an honor to be labeled as such. For God to call us worthy to represent His one and only beloved, heaven sent, sinless, self sacrificing, gracious Son, Jesus Christ. I honestly feel unworthy of the title of ambassador. But if God see me or you as worth y of the title, who are we to say "Sorry Lord, you got the wrong person." What is even more scary is that in representing Jesus, we can either bring Him glory or cause Him horrible shame.

Any one who would call themselves a Christian should not take that title lightly. If you are calling yourselves Christians you are calling yourselves Ambassadors for Christ. And when you go out into the world you should conduct yourselves as a citizens of heaven not of the world, living a life according to the bible as best as you can. This is what will bring great glory and honor to God. But if you claim to be a Christian then go out to the world conducting yourself as a citizen of the world, you bring great shame to God and to all other Christians. The world is sinful and non-repentant. It embraces compromise of moral values and all right doings. It persecutes the righteous. It honors the the ungodly. I firmly believe that everyone should read the whole book of Ephesians. That book tells us how we should live our life. How we should conduct ourselves. It even goes as far as to say that we should stay away from gossip, foul  talk, course jokes etc. It is a really good book.

As I thought on these things I put them all together and I concluded that we must "Put on Jesus every day and represent Him well."  So in the words of my friend Sam "Do you got your Jesus on today and are you bringing Him glory?
