Christ's Ambassadors Pt.2.1
Christ’s Ambassadors II Corinthians 5:11-21 Main Point: Now that we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, we are called to be Christ’s ambassadors. We represent Him to everyone around us. Ambassador = one who acts as an authorized representative, messenger. 1. If we are reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, then we are a new creation through the indwelling Spirit – the old is gone and we are new! verses 11,17-19 *Are you reconciled to God through Jesus Christ? *Are you walking worthy of His calling? Ephesians 4:1 2. As His ambassadors Jesus has committed the message of reconciliation to us to appeal to the unsaved around us. Appeal – To call near, invite, beseech, implore His Love compels us! God is making His Appeal through us!
