Ambassadors For Christ!

Life on planet earth is
preparatory for the real life in heaven. It is a back porch, or mud
room, as it were, where we learn how to behave and cleanse ourselves
before we are allowed into the parlor. It is here that we hear and
learn of God. It is here that God's grace is freely offered to us,
and we either receive it or reject it It is here that we are saved.
We who are saved have been
allowed to remain on planet earth after we were saved so that we
might perform the work and ministry of ambassadors for Christ so that
others might hear the good news of the gospel and be saved. We must
all stand before the judgment seat of Christ some day and give an
account of how we have performed this ministry.
We have all been given the tools
to work with, and we have been given instruction in the use of these
tools. “If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God that giveth to
all men liberally and upbraideth not and it shall be given him.”
James 1: 5.
We have all been given talents and
abilities, all differing according to the will of God. Some day we
will be asked, where is the talent and ability that was given to you?
According to what we have done, and how we have trusted and obeyed,
and according to our faithfulness or unfaithfulness we will have to
answer to our Lord.
How wonderful on that day would it
be for our Lord to put his hand on our shoulder and say to us, well
done thou good and faithful servant, but how ashamed we will be if we
are found empty handed at that day with no crowns to place at our
Savior's feet.
Let each of us, therefore: “Take
heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou
fulfill it.” Colossians 4: 17.
