"Brothers and Sisters: We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God." - 2 Cor 5:20
An ambassador is a person who represents his or her own country while living in another. So, as ambassadors for Christ, we belong to and represent the Kingdom of God, and not the earthly world that we are passing through. Through the ashes with which we have been marked today, we tell others that we are Christians and we assume the responsibility to evangelize our faith to others as they look to us to learn about Christ. Let us reflect on what it truly means to be an ambassador for Christ.
