Are All Believers Ambassadors?
by Pastor Ricky Kurth
“Someone suggested that only Paul and the other apostles were ambassadors, not all believers (II Cor. 5:20). True?”
In Verse 18, Paul says, “God… hath reconciled us to
Himself… and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation.” Here we see that the people who have been given
the ministry of reconciliation are the same people who have been
reconciled to God. This cannot be limited to Paul and other leaders;
it must include all believers, for we have all been reconciled.
Paul then defines the ministry of reconciliation as that
which takes place when “ambassadors” say to the lost, “be ye
reconciled to God” (v. 20). This means that the ambassadors
proclaiming reconciliation in Verse 20 must consist of all the
reconciled people who were given the ministry of reconciliation in
Verse 18.
This also points out that, while “the
world” has been reconciled to God (v. 19), the unsaved have not
been reconciled in the same sense as believers, or else they would
also be Christ’s ambassadors. The reconciling of the world
is that which God gave Jews and Gentiles corporately, once
the Jews had been cast away (Rom. 11:15), just as the Gentiles had
been at the Tower of Babel.
Thank
