Sent - A New Mission in our New Identity
What if the most important title you carry has nothing to do with your job, your education, or your social standing? In this message, we explore one of the most profound identities available to every follower of Christ: ambassador. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5, we are reminded that when we place our trust in Jesus, we are not simply saved from something -- we are saved to something. We become citizens of the kingdom of heaven, sent into the world as official representatives of that kingdom. Just as a diplomat carries the weight and honor of their home country into foreign territory, we carry the message and character of Christ into every corner of our daily lives. The story of a real-life diplomat in Bolivia who went out of his way to help a desperate woman recover her life savings serves as a vivid picture of what it looks like to represent well -- to notice the overlooked, to bridge two worlds, and to bring reconciliation where there was none. This is precisely the mission we have been given. The question this message leaves us with is both simple and deeply challenging: are we living in a way that reflects who we represent?
