Ash Wednesday

We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who did not know sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

As Christians, we are all on a mission to proclaim the Gospels. We are ambassadors of God’s Good Will and called to represent Him for all those we meet each day. Our every thought, word, and work either reflects God’s glory or mars it. We can hardly be good envoys of the Good News if we are not living it out to the best of our abilities. This is why it is so important to be reconciled with God and seek to amend our lives. It is only by doing so that we can embody the loving and merciful righteousness of our Lord and King.

How are we proclaiming the Gospel? What can we do to make ourselves into more perfect ambassadors of God’s Goodness to all? How can we become a representative of God’s Righteousness?

O Lord, reconcile us with you and help us to become good and faithful ambassadors of your Good News.

Amen.
