We
are, therefore, Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making His appeal
through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf. Be reconciled to God. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
The verses
above give us confidence in the Gospel, confidence that we are now the
righteousness of God and confidence that we might represent Jesus. “He makes
His appeal through us!” What a privilege!
How will
He use us today? How can we best represent Him to a world hungry and thirsty
for the good news? The soul without Christ will never be satisfied. He is the
only One to fill the emptiness, to offer real peace and deep joy.
Let’s
represent our heavenly home with compassion, with comfort for the grieving and
companionship for the lonely. We offer the love Christ first gave us. He loved
us when we were lost and gave us hope. The hope that lasts forever.
Jesus,
Show us how to represent You today. Teach us Your
ways. They don’t come naturally, but the Holy Spirit within us is available to
guide us along the way.
Amen
