We’re Meant to Represent Our King in This Foreign Land

The Bible says that Christians are ambassadors for Christ. At STR, we’ve highlighted three skills an ambassador needs to develop to be effective representing our King: knowledge, wisdom, and character. I’ve been reminded recently that essential to being an ambassador is being a representative in a foreign country. For most of us in Western culture, our culture hasn’t been all that foreign to us. But it’s becoming increasingly foreign territory populated by people who speak a different language and have very different values. But that’s where ambassadors belong. This foreign land is precisely where ambassadors are meant to be representing our Sovereign.
