[Manna - August 13]
We are ambassadors for Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20
IF we as Christians could keep this thought always
prominent before our minds what a dignity it would
add to our character!
what a transforming power it
would be!
what an assistance to the new nature in its
battle with the low and groveling tendencies of the
old nature now disowned by us and reckoned dead!
"Our citizenship is in heaven," says the apostle....While
still living in the world we are not of it, but have
transferred our allegiance and citizenship to the heavenly
Kingdom....And now, as appointees of our
Kingdom, while still living in the world amongst
aliens and strangers, we as representatives and ambassadors
should feel both the dignity and the honor
of the position and the weighty responsibilities, and
ever keep in memory the apostle's words, "Whatsoever
ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the
Lord Jesus." Z.'04-72 R3330:2
