Ambassadors for Christ?!

Guess what?! I am writing a blog post from my phone. Just going to warn you- posts from my phone will probably have misspellings and all… Okay, here goes! First post from my iPhone!

What does it mean to be a sacred worker?

Previously, I wrote about our spiritual gift being a means to worship God and experience Him in a special way specific to who He created you to be. One point though, that I failed to emphasize was the last Bible verse that I left you with: “We are Christ’s ambassadors” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

What does it mean to be an ambassador if Christ and what in the world does that hefty job title entail?

In my devotional this morning, Oswald Chambers wrote, “The Christian worker has to be a sacred ‘go-between’… The real presence of Christ coming through every aspect of the worker’s life.”

In other words, you are an ambassador of Christ in your everyday, ordinary life. Whenever you wear a cross around your neck, your bible in your hand, an icthus on your car, you are setting yourself apart in the world as a worker for the Lord.

The question though, is this: are we a sacred go-between? Through every aspect of our lives, does Christ’s presence come pouring out of us and into others?

Are we sacred workers?

Prayer for Spiritual Strength

Are you ever in search for a good, Biblical prayer for a friend, co-worker, or family member?  I absolutely love this passage in Ephesians because it is a wonderful prayer to write down on notecards and give to others and say, “Hey, so-and-so, I’ve just been thinking about  you, and I hope you have a great day :)”

“For this reason, I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith–that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and legth and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.  Amen.”

Ephesians 3:14-21

This is my prayer for you this morning, too.

Praying your day is filled with the all-consuming, radiant love of Christ.  Infect the world with your contagious Sonshine,

Sarah
