“They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works.” Titus 1:16 HSCB

We are ambassadors of Christ.

And just like an ambassador, we become an emissary of who Christ is here and now. There is an old saying, “The best way to lead is by example.” People are supposed to follow your example. Therefore, this begs the question; if someone follows you, where are you leading them? Are you leading them towards Christ or away from Christ? Paul realizes that if we’re doing this right, people should be able to look at our lives and begin to see Jesus.

Your life matters. The choices you make today are important. Your actions will either help give credibility to or take away from Jesus. We are all ambassadors of Christ and our lives will pay tribute to Jesus either positively or negatively

In 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul tells his followers to “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” This is really interesting, because at first glance we may feel opposed to this thought. People should only follow Jesus, right? But think about it for a moment. The Christian life is one in which we are supposed to become more and more like Christ. It is a journey towards Christlikeness, as we say. And therefore, Paul is acknowledging that our very lives, in continuity with our words, becomes a testimony to the transformational power of who Jesus is and what he has done for us.

You are leading people every day that you’re alive. Make sure you’re leading them to Christ.

Prayer

Father God, help us to live a life that reflects you. May our lives be an example of Jesus, and may we continually be leading people to know and love you more. In Jesus name, amen.
