Ambassadors are prestigious people. They are men and women of intrigue. If you’ve ever watched a spy movie you know all about diplomatic immunity given to them and their staff. It seems that they are a league of their own.

Ambassador is an ancient title. It is a job that has spanned thousands of years. Men from the time of the Bible has this position. Almost every nation that has ever held sway has sent at least one ambassador. Consider an ambassador for a moment. Nearly everyone of them needs to either know someone in power or be extremely good at what they do in order to land the job. You can’t simply hand in a resume and expect to get the position without having an in.

Did you know all followers of Jesus Christ are ambassadors. Yep, that’s right, if you claim to follow Christ, you’ve got the job! “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us…”

Being an ambassador is not about being spiritual mature, it’s not a spiritual gift only given to some. No. If you have followed Christ for a week or for a decade you have the same title…ambassador. God wants to make his appeal through you and through me. You see Christ’s needs his representatives in every nation of the world and his desire is to use you.
