What are you doing?
The apostle Paul wrote,
“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.
If you consider yourself a Christian are you truly an ambassador for Christ?
An ambassador is someone who represents his or her nation or king. It is through the lense of the ambassador that people see their nation.
Paul here tells us that through us God is making His appeal to those around us.
Francis of Assisi wrote,
Preach the Gospel at all times
and when necessary use words.

He also wrote,
“The deeds you do
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today”
Francis of Assisi.
If you claim to be a Christian a follower of Christ Jesus then people are watching not only your words but your deeds also.
Your deeds and words have the power to bring people to Christ or push them away.
So what are your words and deeds doing? What are you doing?
Please think about it.
