Ambassador For The King

So then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as God is pleading through us. We beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

2 Corinthians 5:20

How does one become an ambassador for The United States of America? The U.S. Constitution details how one becomes an ambassador. Article II, Section 2, Clause 2:

He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors.

As an ambassador for the United States, they officially represent the U.S. government on behalf of the President in treaty negotiations, immigration discussions, foreign aid projects, and humanitarian aid programs. They do not express their interest or speak for themselves. Their message is one given to them by the President.

As a believer, you became an ambassador for Jesus Christ. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords has appointed every believer to proclaim His message. Paul reminded the church in Corinth and every believer that we are to share the good news of the Gospel as Christ's ambassadors. But there's more than just sharing. Scripture tells us we are to plead with and beg people to come to Christ. It is an essential reminder to all who have made Jesus Lord and Savior. Being His ambassador is not optional. For us to be obedient, we must deliver the King's message.

Your shepherd,

Pastor Mark
