Whom do you represent?

From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary I found the following definition for “Ambassador”:

“1: an official envoy; especially : a diplomatic agent of the highest rank accredited to a foreign government or sovereign as the resident representative of his or her own government or sovereign or appointed for a special and often temporary diplomatic assignment
2 a: an authorized representative or messenger b: an unofficial representative.”

Last night at our Monday night Men’s Bible Study group we were studying in the Book of Acts where Paul was called an ambassador to the Gentiles. The title carries with it special authority and rank. We are to be Ambassadors of God to the world. It is an appointed position that includes a message for us to convey and diplomatic duties to accomplish. That gives high responsibility today, since as God’s representative, I affect how people understand spiritual things. I need to be loyal to the one who sends me. Remaining faithful to the terms of my commission is one of my major life goals. I find the terms of my commission in the pages of Scripture.

We are all ambassadors of something. Whom do you represent?
