Ambassadors

We've had a great week of spiritual emphasis at ILE. This means that we have no homework and we have chapel every day, twice a day with the same speaker. One illustration that our speaker, Dr. M. Dave Sills from Southern Seminary gave us tonight seemed very appropriate to share.
Hypothetically there is a war between country A and country B. Many people on both sides are dying while they fight for their countries. The leader of country A has asked you to be his ambassador and take a message of peace to the leader of country B. On your way over to country B, you become tired and upon arrival you decide you'll take a few days to rest and recover, so you can present the best picture to the leader of country B. However during your rest time you read over the rules of peace and decide that you don't agree with them so you change them a bit. When you FINALLY arrive in front of the leader of country B you are not only late, and more people have needlessly died in the war, but you have even changed the message you were sent to present.
Just like this many are dying without the message of peace that Christ has asked us to share with others. Are you listening to the prompting of our leader who has sent us as ambassadors to the other "countries" to share HIS message NOT OURS! How are we doing? Are we representing Christ the way He has asked us to? Are we sharing HIS gospel or our watered down version, so as not to offend anyone?
Something I hope makes you think, it did me!
