Ambassadors

It is 29th October, Thursday 2020, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan with a thought for the day.

If we go to the Word of God in 1 John Chapter 4 and verse 12, The Lord says:

“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.”

No one has seen God at any time but we who have The Holy Spirit working through us can be Jesus to a dying world, especially at this critical time in the history of the world.

Let’s be Jesus today to some lonely person, to some old person, to somebody who is bereaved, to someone who is sick.

I remember reading a lovely story many years ago about a missionary who went to the South Sea Islands to preach the Gospel to the Islanders.

They were war-like cannibals and they allowed him to stay among them with only one condition, and that condition was that he was not allowed to speak to them about his God.

Well, many, many years later, another sailing ship arrived on the South Sea Islands with missionaries, only this time to find a peace-loving people who warmly welcome them.

As they, the islanders sat listening to the wonderful gospel story of Jesus, preached by the missionaries, the missionaries noticed that they were not particularly surprised, and then they asked them, “Have you heard this story before?”

They replied, “No, never.”

But they said, “Come with us, we want to show you something.”

And they took the missionaries to a grave and they said, “The man that you are speaking about used to live here among us and we buried him there.”

Yes, “Christ in us, the hope of glory!” Colossians Chapter 1 verse 27

Let us be Jesus to a world that seems to have gone mad.

Let us be gentle. Let us be loving. Let us stand firm for truth and righteousness.

Have a wonderful day as you are an ambassador for Jesus Christ.
