Ep. 51 - I Am An Ambassador
Description
We are finishing up our series called “Who do you think you are?” Because our world is having an identity crisis, this entire fall, we have been considering the good news that Bible communicates about Christians. In Christ, we have a brand new identity.
In the first 8 weeks of this series, we looked at different realities that have become true about those believe in Christ. In Christ, we are justified, redeemed, reconciled, adopted, new creations, members of His body, saints, and completely secure in Jesus. This is who we are. If you’re in Christ, this is where you should go for your sense of self worth!
In the last few episodes we made a slight shift. Even we’ve continued with this same theme of our identity, instead of looking at realities that are already true of us, we are now looking at realities that ought to be true of us if we understand what Christ has done for us. We’ve seen that in light of who Jesus is and what He has done for us, we ought to be worshipers and disciples and servants of God and others. Today, as we close out this series on our identity, we are going to see that not only should we be worshipers and disciples and servants, but we should also be ambassadors, eager to share the good news of Jesus with others.
