Ambassador for Christ

Tick...tock...tick...tock...BAAMM!!

It's almost time to load up and roll out to a whole other country. Honduras!

In Ephesians 3:20-21 the apostle Paul writes, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

That even our biggest dream is tiny in comparison to what great things God will do.

It is so cool that God chose to carry out his will in us; those who have put on Christ! I'm so incredibly excited to see what God is going to do through us.

I'm on a team with Steve, Kale, Keith, Felicia, and Rayner. It is not "my team" or "our team" but God's team! We come from totally different pasts, have different talents, and personalities...praise God! We are a body. Each person has a unique place. We are like a family. We don't get along perfectly, but we resolve. With Christ placed as the Head of the body, as he is the Head, we will grow closer together. We are ambassadors for Christ.

2 Cor 5:11-21 Paul writes to the church in Corinth,

"Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. We are not trying to commend ouselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. we are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be a sin offering for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. "

Jesus Christ died on our behalf so that we can be reconciled to God, and he arose on the 3rd day!! This faith would be useless if Christ was not resurrected! (reference to 1 Cor 15: 12-34).

So God has sent me to spread the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world. He blesses me so much. Our God is so good to us!! And he is calling me to Honduras! I'm so excited to see what God is going to do. He grows me and molds me and shapes me more and more into the image of Christ. I'm a disciple of Christ. A child of God trying to follow in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
