Summary: Reaching our world is a mighty calling, isn’t it? It’s about being the hands and feet of Christ to those we meet each day. That’s quite a calling and it comes straight from God’s Word. 2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors as though God were making his appeal through us.” So what does it mean to be an ambassador of Christ? For me it means being available to be used by God. It means being open to listening to His Word, helping His people and speaking His message. If there is a conflict that needs facilitation to find reconciliation, I’m supposed to be there. If there is a prayer request, I’m on my knees and I pray. If a friend needs a listening ear, I’m focused and available. What does being an ambassador of Christ mean to you? Does it mean sharing your heart with others? Does it mean witnessing by sharing your personal story? That’s a great way! Perhaps serving food to the hungry, or collecting clothing for the needy is what makes you Christ’s ambassador. However you see your role, as you reach your world, do it knowing it is God making his appeal through you to those who don’t know Jesus Christ. So whatever you do, never forget, tell them about Jesus, His death and resurrection.
