Summary

Sometimes, persecution is physical. The church’s history is full of stories of men and women who have been imprisoned, beaten, and even killed for their faith. Even now, there are brothers and sisters around the world who still face these dangers. The church has always lived in a world that fights against it, but our mission has never shifted. Our response is not to fight back; instead, it is to bring reconciliation to the world. Regardless of what happens around us, our job is to bring others into reconciliation with God. We are ambassadors. As His representatives, we focus on His mission and speak for Him. I know that sometimes, this calling can feel intimidating. I know it can be hard. But if our Savior could remain on the cross, enduring humiliation, pain, and shame — refusing to fight back, all because He wanted to reconcile us to God — why would we think our mission is any different? Friends, you are an ambassador whether you want to be or not. And there is something on the line here. If we get this wrong, people go to hell. There is a real danger in this responsibility. So, church, make disciples. Be about His mission. Adopt the mission of the King. Seek and save the lost. Bring reconciliation to the world. Ambassadors speak for the King.
