Real Conversations (Luke 8-10)নমুনা

Typically, an ambassador is a formal representative of a country, organization, or cause; usually in a foreign country or within specific communities. Ambassadors are the primary diplomatic link between the entity they represent and the host country or audience. Their actions and words carry the weight of the entity they represent.

We are Christ’s ambassadors to the world by representing Him to those we encounter. This can be daunting, especially when we feel we’ve done a poor job. We can find comfort in what Jesus told His disciples – whether they are heard or rejected, Jesus is the One whom the people turn away or accept. A relationship with God is forged individually, and as much as we try, we cannot change someone’s heart. In fact, we can’t change our own heart. Salvation and transformation are works of the Lord.

We can, however, speak truth with loving intent and trust the Holy Spirit to grow the seed. The greatest hope anyone can hold is to have his or her name written in heaven, even greater than the power over evil spirits. So, as we represent Jesus in our communities, may we remember the goal is not to win people over but to show the genuine love of our Lord that changed our heart.
