Daily Devo 83 – Emissary Or Ambassador

For a lot of people in our world, the song Amazing Grace is just not true. A recent Barna study found that young adults outside the church see Christians as judgmental, hypocritical, and insensitive to others. That’s not the sweet sound of amazing grace! In 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 God explains how he gives us forgiveness, then calls us to represent that same forgiveness and grace to everyone. Is your life a reflection of the sweet sound of God’s amazing grace?

Challenge: think about someone you know who’s Christ’s ambassador. Someone who lives it out full-time, not just an emissary. Someone who brings that sweet sound of amazing grace to your ears. Think about: what do they do to represent God accurately? And then how can you learn from their example? Pray and ask God to continue to transform you into his full-time ambassador of the grace you’ve received.
