Lesson #49
Ambassadors For Christ
His Representatives
Just as earthly ambassadors represent heads of state and their particular country so we as Christians are to do the same. We represent the God of the Kingdom and the Kingdom of God wherever we might be, for all to hear and for all to see. We are His earthly ambassadors to an earthly people for a heavenly King and a Heavenly land. It behooves all Christians to know and understand this. Christ has given us a life and message to share so that all might be reconciled to God.
