Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
In the text above, we learn that Paul emphasizes the transformation that occurs when a person becomes a follower of Christ: they are made new, and their old ways are left behind. As believers, we are not only changed inwardly, but also appointed as ambassadors or diplomats of Christ. Our mission is to represent heaven on earth by sharing the message of reconciliation with others, letting them know that through Christ, they can be reconciled to God.
The call to become an ambassador of Christ began the day you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior and even if many Christians abscond their ambassadorial duties, it does not exempt them from the call.
Understanding the significance of being an ambassador for Christ, its purpose, and the perks attached to the role and its meaning.
- Who is an Ambassador of Christ? – 2 Corinthians 5:20
- In the secular world, an ambassador is a representative of one country while residing in another. They communicate and enact the will of their homeland in the host country.
- As an ambassador of Christ, we represent Christ’s Heavenly Kingdom. We represent Heaven! Our official communication should be the official stance of Heaven. Therefore, we should speak only what God says. Do not speak or declare the negative things that may be in manifestation in the physical, rather declare the Word of God. Use your emotional energy to declare healing, favor, welfare and divine possibilities.
- The declaration of the Word of God will change any negative situation. The word was created by the Word of God, and this Word will change it and recreate it to align with the Word that we declare- Hebrews 11:3, Proverbs 18:21.
- As ambassadors of Christ, we are able to enact the will of God on the earth, as find in the Lord’s Prayer- Matthew 6:10. On a daily basis, it remains our cardinal duties as God’s children, to enforce God’s will in our lives, our families, our communities, as well as our nation.
- We should enjoy divine diplomatic immunity and protection.
- Ambassadors typically enjoy diplomatic immunity. This means that they aren’t subjected to the host country’s laws in the same way as ordinary residents. In a spiritual sense, as ambassadors of Christ, we are protected, and subjected to higher laws. The enemy cannot hold us bound by the things of this world- Romans 8:2, Psalm 91:11, Luke 10:19.
- We are entitled to divine provisions as ambassadors of Christ.
- Just as ambassadors are provided for by their home country, God provides for us. Philippians 4:19- God provides for us, and our provisions do not depend on the resources of the earth, but rather, on God’s provision. Ephesians 1:17-18.
- The riches of heaven and the wealth of Christ are ours to enjoy- 2 Corinthians 9:8.
- Ambassadors from rich nations have enormous resources at their disposal because of the wealth their home country- Revelation 21:21. It’s important to note that Heaven’s wealth isn’t just about literal riches only, but also about the power, wisdom, glory, beauty, and majesty of God. Our inheritance is beyond comprehension! – Revelation 5:12. Jesus is indeed the richest of all, not just in material things but also in power, authority, and honor.
- We are representing the King of Kings.
- As Christ’s ambassadors, we represent the richest King of all, and its not even close in any way. Jesus is by far the richest, He is the sovereign – Matthew 28:18. Jesus has given us as His disciples (the redeemed, born-again Christians) the right to use His name – John 16:23-24.
- Representing Jesus means we work miracles in His name, and can pray and ask God for things in the Name of Jesus, and we will receive them. It also means we carry the message of hope, salvation, love, and redemption to a world that desperately needs it.
- Being an ambassador of Christ is not just a title but a calling. As we represent Jesus, we should do so with humility, integrity, and love. We have the backing of the richest King and the resources of Heaven. Let’s be diligent and faithful in our ambassadorial duties, always pointing people to Jesus, reconciling people to God, declaring His Word on earth, and enforcing the will of God of earth.
