Now then we are ambassadors for Christ,

as though God did beseech you by us:

we pray you in Christ’s stead,

be ye reconciled to God.

(2Corinthians 5:20 KJV)

While watching the news about a piece on Ambassadors from the USA to Europe that explained each one had a special “message” to deliver…it put me in mind of being Ambassadors for Christ and His beautiful message found in His Word, and His ministry while on earth, which continues to this day.

When we’re reconciled to the LORD we share a meeting of minds, favorable, and acceptable by an almighty God.  Reconciliation is to change mutually, to make atonement, and to disperse as one body in Christ, and carrying the message for the One who died for us.  The ministry of reconciliation is a role in which all of us strive to bring forth His love and powerful message.

What’s the message?

That would be His overall plan to have us live with Him forever in eternal bliss in Paradise.  And, His plan to call us into “One body” to perform according to His purpose for His will and His timing, to bring forth a renewal of “character” resulting in a deeper walk and cleansing, bringing us higher unto Him.

Forgiveness is a big part of our faith.  Forgiveness is a huge part of who Christ is.  “How many times must I forgive my brother?”  To which Christ responds, “70 times 7.”  (Matthew 18:21-22)

Clothe yourself with the most powerful weapon known…

The Gospel Armour…to deliver the message as Ambassadors of God.

There isn’t a more important job anywhere in the entire world!

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:21-22 KJV

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:

and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:20 KJV
