AMBASSADORS OF GOD'S LOVE















AMBASSADORS OF GOD'S LOVE


Do you know
What an ambassador is


An ambassador is a diplomatic official
Of the highest rank
Sent by ONE sovereign state
To another
As its resident representative


The United States has ambassadors
To Italy, Ireland, Japan
And ALMOST
Every country imaginable


In 2 Corinthians 5
Saint Paul calls us
“AMBASSADORS of GOD'S LOVE”


“WE are therefore
Christ's ambassadors
As though God
Were making his appeal through us” 2 Corinthians 5


That is
Exactly what we are to do
BECOME in this world
Ambassadors of God's LOVE


In other words
A representative of God's love
And to CARRY it
To everyone in this world


And we carry a rank too
The rank of apostle or disciple
Of God in today's world
The 21st century


And we
Don't even have to say a thing
IF we are living right


FOR people will know
We belong to God
AND TO LOVE
Just by the very example
Of our life


DISCIPLESHIP
Refers to the act of following
And learning from a teacher
Especially God or Jesus


And ALL we have to do
To learn from God
Is to pick up the GOOD BOOK
and read about Jesus
And the Apostles


And we too
Will be apostles
By putting what we learn
Into action


This makes us
AMBASSADORS OF GOD'S LOVE


A representative of God and Christ
By carrying the message
To everyone that we meet


And we
Do NOT have to go
Anywhere special
Just take it with us
Wherever we go


You are
The resident representative
Of God's love
In the world today


You are
AN AMBASSADOR OF GOD'S LOVE
