Ambassadors for Christ – Staff

Mark these Key Words: Ambassador, Disciples, Imitate

2 Corinthians 5:20

“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled for Christ.” 

What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ?

Ambassador: greek: prosbeuo = aged.

Elder, representative, ambassador.  Sounds like being an image bearer (Genesis 1:26-27). 

Being an ambassador is appealing to the world for God.

How does an “ambassador” represent the one he portrays?

According to this verse it starts with being “reconciled to God.”  But an ambassador should accurately portray the full and true picture of who they portray.  Do you do that?
