2 Corinthians 5:14-21 Ambassadors for Christ
Christ has died to save each one of us. We were all dead in our sins. We were not at all good on our own. We were disobedient and useless. But, now, since we are saved, we can be useful ambassadors for Christ. God calls us to be reaching out to those around us: the lost, the discouraged, and those who are weak in the faith. He wants us to evangelize, encourage and build up those who are in need. If we really appreciate what Christ has done for us, this will not be a chore, but a pleasure. We will be glad to share the good news of salvation. There are many people all around us that need our help. We don't have to go to the inner city slums to find people in need of encouragement. There are people within our own churches and families that are struggling and would benefit tremendously from a few words of encouragement. Lord, help us to see the needs around us. Help us to have a burden for lost souls. Help us to be willing to encourage people who are saved, but need someone to build them up. Help us to be examples to those around us.
