2 Corinthians 5:20
Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us:we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
Ambassador - A person who acts as a representative of their country to a foreign country.
When I was in high school we had this government and economics teacher that was great. He was a vibrant and energetic teacher. He would love to give us "knowledge nuggets". (Meaning he was going to impart some wisdom to his students. It was just his way of saying it). He was aggressive in his teaching as well as his discipline. You could hear him well out into the halls of the school as he would teach. He was just that man.
Well at the end of my eleventh grade year I gave my life to Jesus. So when I started my senior year, he knew me as someone different. He came to our "before school bible study" one morning and heard me speak. He was so encouraging to me.
One day, as I walked up to his desk and turned my test paper in, he looked at my name and then at me. He said, "Steve Abney? S.A?" Then he said, "Do you know what S.A. means now? It means Salvation Ambassodor". He told me about our scripture we just read and proceeded to tell my about my mission in life now as a child of God. I am a representative of Heaven in this foreign land. He said since the day I gave Christ my life, that I am now a "Salvation Abassador".
No matter what your initials are, you are a representative of Jesus and Heaven. How are you speaking on behalf of Him? How are you representing Him? What a huge knowledge nugget he have me that day. Thank you Warren Wilson for your representation of Jesus in my life.
