In 2 Corinthians 5:20,
it says that we are all ambassadors
for Christ, as if God were appealing through us.
I was just reading about
Salma Hayek teaming up with Unicef
to eradicate tentanus.
"Several years ago it was so hard to get
media attention for this,"
the Unicef spokesperson said,
"Enter Salma,
and here we suddenly had
30 media outlets hanging on her
every word."
We don't need star power to be
ambassadors for Christ.
We just need to KNOW Him,
really KNOW Him!
Do we know that it is love that
He desires, not sacrifice?
That He prefers that we know Him
and have a relationship with Him
rather than fasting, and alms giving?
"Embedded in every work God does in our lives,
is an invitation to an intimate relationship
with His son." Word Among Us
If we get to know Christ,
our words and our lives will be so compelling,
that we would not need to be a popular actress
to be an ambassador for the One
who calls us to be His very own!
This message is so timely
because I found out about
the 3:16 challenge on Facebook.
After Tim Tebow put John 3:16 on his eye black
during a national championship game,
this bible verse was googled 94 million times!!!!
As ambassadors of Christ,
what creative thing can we do
so people will want to know Christ more?

ReplyDeleteHi Patsy,
ReplyDeleteI would have visited your blog much sooner, but the comment you left on mine got stuck in my spam folder so I didn't see it. So obviously you are super duper creative, judging from everything I see here. Bravo! I am so not, not in a crafty way.
I wonder if you want to read the chapter in my Memoire I just posted on my blog because it's about God (my book is a coming-to-faith story and I post a chapter each Monday) and it's also about ... The Philippines!!! Well, amongst other things. It's here:

Every time I visit your blog, Patsy, I am blessed in more ways than one. Your words touch my heart and your heart heals my soul. I give praise and thanks to the wonderful Savior we love, and am SO grateful to have you share with us in our challenges.
