AMBASSADORS ALL OF US

 OCTOBER 21, 2022

2 Corinthians 5:18-20

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.


We end the week of reflections with these words above from 2 Corinthians 5. What a beautiful, comforting and magnificent message we find in this text.

We have been reconciled to God through Christ and God, in His grace, longs to use us as His ambassadors of reconciliation. This is a special text for our congregation. We call ourselves, AMBASSADOR Community Church, and the term Ambassador is not referring to the Bridge that we cross to visit our American family and friends. It is not to some how communicate our geographical location of Windsor On. Rather, the name Ambassador points us to the last line of our reading today. 

“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.”

We involve ourselves in ways that bring the message of reconciliation to our circle of influence.

As I was writing this devotion, I felt like the Spirit was asking me this question? I will also ask you to think about the question with me.

“Are you committed to this ministry of reconciliation to which you are called?”

We have been given a great gift – a gift too great not to share. A gift our culture needs to witness and hear.
