SEPTEMBER 18, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

The apostle Paul and his fellow gospel labourers are Christ’s ambassadors. He told the believers in the Corinth church they too were ambassadors of Christ.

What is an ambassador? An ambassador is someone who represents a King or head of state of a country. He or she goes to live in another land, intentionally building relationships with the people of that land. As ambassadors for Christ, we, Christian boys and girls, represent Christ to the world of unbelievers. Our speech and actions tell others about Jesus’ love and His power to save us.

How is your Christian walk? The Bible tells us to walk wisely because other people are watching. Who are they?

Answer: __________________________________________.

Your walk and talk must go together and must be consistent. Some people are all talk and no action. For some others, their actions contradict their talk. Some Christians are like that too. Non-Christians are watching your walk.

Being ambassadors of Christ, we reflect Christ. If you identify yourself as a Christian, it is important that you also walk as God would have His children walk.

Proverbs 20:11 says: “Even a __________ (IDLHC) is known of his __________ (IDSONG);

whether his __________ (ROWK) be pure, and whether it be right.”

What is your life like? Does it tell a good or bad message to all those around you at home, in school and in church?

Thought: How can you be a constant witness for Christ?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for making me Your child. As Your child, help me to live my life in obedience to You and to bear good testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
