Job Descriptions are so important in the marketplace we live in each day. This document gives a person several necessary tools with which to achieve the company's goals and objectives as they work as a team toward success. As a follower of Jesus Christ, our job description is found in 2 Corinthians 5:20 where a term is used that describes our calling........We are Ambassadors! It reads like this in the New Living Translation..... "So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!"
Websters Dictionary describes it like this..... An ambassador is the official representative of one state to another. or from the Bible "This is the name used by the apostle as designating those who are appointed by God to declare his will (2 Cor. 5:20; Eph. 6:20)."
That is what the apostle Paul is saying here......we are to represent all that God is, all that God provides, and be active participants in His purpose.
As Christians, sometimes it is easy to forget what our job is by getting distracted by so many good things. Clearly it is to be an ambassador for Jesus. All that we do is to fulfill His Mission, His purpose, His desire.
All that to say, somehow by the power of God's Holy Spirit, live today in such a way that people would know you are an ambassador for Jesus Christ. Job Well Done!
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
