Kingdom Ambasssadors

  In the Kingdom of God on earth, we are all citizens of the same Kingdom.  We all believe in and work for the same King.  We all have the same purpose.  We live for him. 

  Until the fulfillment of that comes, Christians serve as ambassadors for the Kingdom of God.  As with other ambassadors, wherever we are in residence, is the land of the Kingdom.  When someone enters our home, they are entering the Kingdom.  Wherever we go, we represent the King.  In a real sense, the King and the Kingdom go with us.  When we walk in a room, the King walks in the room because we are his designated representative.  As St. Paul says, "We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us" (2 Corinthians 5:20).  Ambassadors have the full faith of the King behind them.

  For reflection:  Do I carry the presence of the King and the Kingdom with me?

  Let us pray.  King of all creation, I bow before you.  I acknowledge your kingship.  You only want the best for your creation.  With the saints and angels in heaven, I praise you.  Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
