We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf...
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 NIV
We are Christ's ambassadors.
His envoy.
As though God was making his appeal through us... not only are we the object of His love, but we're integral in His plan to take it to the world...
Ambassadors, envoys, represent the place they've come from, it's values, what's important, what it stands for, & an effective one influences and changes the place (the foreign land) that they're sent to...
We are part of God's redemptive plan!
Ambassadors
Envoys
Representatives
With a mandate to change the world...

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
