Be an Ambassador!

“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”                 

In II Corinthians 5:20 Paul says that we are to be ambassadors for Christ.  .  What is an ambassador?  An ambassador lives and serves in a country that is not his home.  An ambassador is an official messenger who speaks on behalf of his government or sovereign.  An ambassador is sent to build bridges of communication between his home country and those he serves.

While Paul is not speaking specifically to leaders, those of us within the women’s leadership should take this calling seriously.  As His ambassador, are we speaking His words, a living a life representative of His kingdom? Are we honest in our relationships, loving with His agape love?  Are we building bridges of communication between God and those we serve?
