Christs Representatives
The apostle Paul wrote,
"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.” 2Timothy 2:15.
Paul also wrote,
"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 5:20.
We are Christs ambassadors. An ambassador is a country, or kings representative in another country. It is through the lens of the ambassador that people see the king he or she represents.
Thus as Christs ambassador people see Jesus through the words and deeds for all who would call themselves Christians.
So what are your words and deeds telling the those around you about Jesus Christ? Are you correctly handling the word of God? Are you representing Jesus in the best way you know how?
If you call yourself a true follower of Christ Jesus, what will He say about your handling of the scriptures? What will Jesus say about the way you conducted yourself on behalf of Christ?
Please think about it.
