If you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re an ambassador for Him. The Bible says it very clearly: “We are Christ’s ambassadors” (2 Corinthians 5:20 NLT).
An ambassador is a representative sent out on a mission to build relationships. There are all kinds of ambassadors – political, economic, cultural, business, and goodwill ambassadors. And the Bible says there are spiritual ambassadors – that’s you and me! As an ambassador of Jesus, you have some roles to fill. Here are a couple:
First, you represent Jesus in the world. That should affect everything about how you live. Philippians 1:27 says, “Be sure that you live in a way that brings honor to the Good News of Christ” (NCV).
As you go about your day, a great reminder for all of us is this: Remember who you represent. When you’re at work, playing a sport, or stuck in traffic—remember who you represent.
Second, you’ve been given a mission. In the Message paraphrase, Jesus prays, “In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world” (John 17:18).
When you’re on a mission, that’s all that matters. You’re there to get the job done because you have a mission to accomplish. And of all the missions in the world, the most important mission of all is helping people get to know God and settle their eternal destiny.
The apostle Paul said this, “I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me— to tell people the Good News about God’s grace” (Acts 20:24 NCV).
I love the fact that so many of you made a Faith Promise for World Missions this past Sunday. Lives are going to be changed because of your faithful generosity! This Sunday (April 26, 2026) we are launching a new message series, but we will also receive an offering for our World Missions Project of building 2 churches in Kenya, Africa. Over the years we have built churches, missions centers, purchased an olive grove and even purchased chickens…….whatever it takes for more people to know Jesus.
Our goal is to raise $10,096 to build the 2 churches. I know you’ve been praying this week and asking God how He wants you to help. Remember: If you’re a follower of Jesus, you’re His ambassador. That means you represent Him, you have a mission from Him. Thank you for listening to God and being obedient. I’m eager to see all that God is going to do!!!
