Ambassador


Proverbs 13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Watch what you say, think before you talk.

Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

I am interested in that word "AMBASSADOR." It meaning is a diplomatic agent of the highest rank accredited to a foreign government or sovereign as the resident representative of his or her own government or sovereign or appointed for a special and often temporary diplomatic assignment. Hello, is that not the child of God? Are we not a resident and representative appointed for a special assignment; telling those around us and the ones we come in contract with about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His ability to save sinners! Is that not good news from a far country?

Proverbs 13:17 A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

Here we see a wicked messenger falling into an action that annoys or irritates. But then there is that Christian who speaks of the land of which he or she  are representing; heaven and of the government there; one ruler Jesus. This ambassador speaks highly of this land in which he or she will soon be leaving for. We have the choice of what we speak. We can have words that are fitly spoken for mischief or fitly spoken of heaven and the ruling king Jesus. It's our choice?
