Today’s Thought “Pomp and Circumstance” G. Ward

2 Corinthians 5:20

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

 

This charge given believers won’t wait for the hierarchal posture of man. The correct spiritual posture is availability to what one has received from Christ, proclaiming HIS sole sufficiency and whereas Paul was Paul and Peter, Peter and most supremely – Jesus is/was, spiritual leaders’ insistent on special titles, remain pharisaic at best (*Matt.23:1-7). There’s a “common salvation” (Jude 1:3) for any who call on the Name of the Lord and whereas there are some called HIS leaders very exclusively, pastor-teacher, their humility imitates how Jesus walked. Altogether, every follower of Christ should be urging unbelievers towards repentance of their sins (which is exactly what was given us) and believe on Jesus.

*Holy God called Jesus, HIS Son to whom HE was well pleased.
