Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:19-20,
“(God) has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.”
What a thought! We actually represent God here on this earth. Ambassadors are representatives…they are delegates…they are substitutes for the one the represent. Ambassadors can speak for those they represent. As we live our lives, we act on God’s behalf in this world. An old poem says it well…
Christ has no hands, but our hands, to do His work today!
He has no feet, but our feet, to lead men in His way,
He has no tongue, but our tongues, to tell men how He died,
He has no help, but our help, to bring them to His side.

Let’s remember that we are Christ’s ambassadors in this world!
