223.  We are God's Ambassadors

223.


The Temporal and the Eternal

1.

Today's Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:11-21


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).



Thank You for meeting us, LORD.
We welcome you into this place.


11. Because we understand our fearful responsibility to the LORD,   
we work hard to persuade others. God knows we are sincere,   
and I hope you know this, too.   
12. Are we commending ourselves to you again? No, we are giving   
you a reason to be proud of us, so you can answer those who brag   
about having a spectacular ministry rather than having a sincere heart.   
13. If it seems we are crazy, it is to bring glory to God. And if we are   
in our right minds, it is for your benefit.  
14. Either way, Christ's love controls us. Since we believe    
that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all   
died to our old life.  
15. He died for everyone so that those who receive  
his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead,   
they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.  

16. So we have stopped evaluating other from a human point of view.   
At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human  
point of view. How differently we know him now!  
17. This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has   
become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!  

18. And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to  
himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of  
reconciling people to him.  
19. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself,  
no longer counting people's sins against them.  
And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.   
20. So we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us.  
We speak for Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!"  
21. For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the  
offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.  
2 Corinthians 5:11-21 NLT

11th strategy.
Reading... Simple Act of Meditation




Simple acts of meditation are not difficult.
If they were difficult God would not encourage every person to do them.
They are sometimes uncomfortable.
But they are always profitable.
They bring us closer to the heart of God. We are to Hide His Words In Our Hearts.


  • Take this time to read the passage one time through.
  • Then go back and read every verse separately.
  • After reading one verse just close your eyes and think about the words for a few seconds. When you are no longer considering the sweetness of God's word to you, move to the next verse.
  • Continue through the passage.
    • Loving HIM is the goal.
    • Getting to know HIM is the goal.
    • Allowing Him to take your day and use you in this day is the goal.
    • Finding the sweetness He desires to impart is the goal.
  • Thank God for coming and bringing his Holy Presence into your day.

Simply be with the LORD
right where you are.
Such sweetness is waiting for you
with Him.
