Matthew 5:14 KJV
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
First and foremost, let us take a view of what the world today see an ambassador as.
An ambassador is someone that represents a country or brand. An ambassador is an official envoy, especially a high-ranking diplomat who represents a state or country. Ambassadors are usually sent to other countries to serve as representatives of their state/country of origin. An ambassador could also be seen as the President's highest-ranking representative to a specific nation or nations or international organization .
We also have brand ambassador, this is a person or group of persons employed by an organization or company to represent a brand in a positive light. By doing this they help to increase awareness and sales. A brand ambassador, is task with the responsibility of protecting the identity, appearance and values of the brand or company they represent. It is a common fact and knowledge that every ethics dispalyed by an ambassador of either a brand, company or state/country. Is acceptable where ever they represent.
As Christians, we have been selected as God's ambassador to represent Him here on earth. Just like earthly ambassadors, we are expected to showcase His light and glory and represent His kingdom through our character and works here on earth. Just as whatever an ambassador do or say affects how others view and value what they represent, same thing as a Christian, how people view the God we serve, is also determined by the actions we take.
Many so called Christians today, live a double life. You see them as the perfect brother/sister in Christ but what happens when they are no longer within the church surroundings? You see a totally and completely different person. If others where asked about you, what would be their remarks, would it be something you are proud of?
Our character should show fort the light that God has made us to be here on earth. Where ever we are, we should always represent God. Its funny how we tend to hear a completely different story about our kids in school than what we are used to. Most of our youths tend to try out various different lifestyle once they get into college because they feel they are independent. As Christians no matter the environment you find yourself, always remember you are a child and Ambassador to the creator of Heaven and Earth. Irrespective of who is or who is not watching. Like they say good reputation is better than riches, because when you have a good reputation, it encourages more people to trust you and have dealings with you.
Matthew 5:16 KJV
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
