Read: Psalm 22:28, 2 Timothy 3:13
When I was in college, I really wanted to be part of a special research team working on a professor’s dissertation. It felt like a big opportunity—a chance to contribute to something meaningful. I applied but was rejected because my ancient Greek language skills weren’t strong enough at the time. I was only 19, but the rejection still stung. It reminded me how much I longed to be part of something bigger than myself.
As believers, we’ve already been invited to join the most significant mission of all—sharing the message of reconciliation with the world. God doesn’t need our help, but He chooses to make His appeal through us.
This role as an ambassador is a great honor. It’s not just for professional missionaries or pastors but for anyone who is in Christ. Whether we realize it or not, our words, actions, and attitudes reflect the heart of God to those around us.
Being part of this mission isn’t about doing extraordinary things—it’s about faithfully showing God’s love to others, one conversation or act of kindness at a time. You have the privilege of being God’s representative to those in your world today.
Questions to Ponder:
- How does knowing you are Christ’s ambassador impact your daily life?
- In what ways can you reflect God’s love to someone this week?
- How can you invite the Holy Spirit to guide your conversations?
