2 Corinthians 5:18-20
Sermon: 2483 The Soul Winner’s Six Mighty Motivations, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.”
2 Corinthians 5:18-20
Ponder This
You have been called to the ministry of reconciliation. We’ve been reconciled by Calvary. God has brought us to Himself, but God did not save you simply to sit and to sour; He also saved you to serve. We have been reconciled. Therefore, it follows that we have been given a ministry of reconciliation to bring others to God. You need to see every man as your potential brother. You need to see every woman as your potential sister. When we fish for fish, we take a fish out of a beautiful life into death, but when we fish for men, we take men out of a horrible life into Heaven. Paul says we are appointed as Heaven’s ambassadors. What is an ambassador? An ambassador is somebody who represents a king in the court of another.
Some will object, “Pastor, I’m not trained.” You don’t have to be trained. Share what Jesus has done for you. You’ll be surprised how your testimony will have an effect. You can also get trained; you can learn about who God is and then share what you have learned. If you received a thousand dollars cash for every soul you led to Christ, would it make a difference in your life? It’s really a matter of motivation. This is the ministry that you have been called to, and it will have a reward.
- Have you taken on this ministry of reconciliation? Why or why not?
- Who in your life lives as an ambassador of Christ? What are some of the things they do to represent and reflect Christ?
Practice This
Thank the person who shared Christ with you and consider how you can live as an ambassador of Christ today.
