We represent the Prince of Peace

We are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

 That is an awesome statement.
 We are official envoys and representatives for Christ. We are citizens of heaven, and we represent the kingdom of God. We’re on temporary assignment on earth to represent our country, our ruler.
 One of the purposes of an ambassador is to work for peace, to promote peace. We represent the Prince of Peace and we are tasked with giving His message to the world. And what is that message? The second half of the verse clearly presents the message that we are to give: “We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”
 May we each be an active and worthy ambassador of Christ. We represent not just a beautiful, wonderful country on earth. We represent the most lovely, spectacular realm in the whole universe—the kingdom of God. It is truly a privilege to serve as one of God’s ambassadors, and we can and should convey Jesus’ love, care, and compassion in everything we do, whether small or great. By “taking the form of a servant,” Jesus set the greatest example of service this world will ever see. (Philippians 2:7)
