Scripture Reading: Ephesians 3:1-6
You have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you …
Ephesians 3:2
A wonderful dimension of God’s working is the way the Lord often accomplishes his purposes through his people. Again and again, God works by sending a message to one person for the benefit of yet another. Sometimes that’s called being an ambassador. Paul was a person like that for the benefit of the Ephesians.
Paul’s message in our passage for today reveals a mystery. For many centuries there was great division between Jews and Gentiles—between the spiritual “haves” and “have nots.” The Jewish community considered Gentiles to be outside of God’s concern. But Paul announced the mystery that the good news of God’s kingdom was for all people everywhere. God was breaking down the wall of division between Jew and Gentile. That’s why Jesus gave us the Great Commission: to “make disciples of all nations,” teaching them “to obey everything” he commanded (Matt. 28:19-20).
Sharing the gospel and serving as ambassadors of this mystery go hand in hand. Every one of God’s people is a messenger. And every person around the world needs to benefit from the amazing good news of God’s grace and salvation in Christ.
All of us are channels through which grace flows. All who follow Christ share together in his promises.
Thanks be to God!
Prayer
We are so grateful, Lord, that the mystery has been revealed. Thank you for including people everywhere in the promises of Christ. Help us to share this good news! Amen.

As Christians we are in the perfect place to share the good news of the promises of Christ. Being an ambassador of Christ lets us reach out to the masses and share the good news with strangers. We share the good news with our family, friends, coworkers, and yes even our enemies.
Can you imagine one world full of ambassadors reaching out to and witnessing for our Lord and Saviour? What an awesome thought when we can be a part of The Great Commission. Amen
Thanks be unto God our Father for loving us all no matter what or ethnic is no matter what color we
are. His perfect love removes all race, creed, and ethnics from salvation. Jesus our grace had the same love created within before conception by Mary. His Holy Spirit supplies us individually with the same perfect love for one another. Even those who are yet still lost we should love with God’s perfect
LOVE and not our own. Otherwise we couldn’t share the good news of God’s love and promises with
even our love-ones. It is very important to me that my children love people with God’s love. We as humans couldn’t love others as God does us without the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT Living in us daily. For this I PRAISE GOD DAILY! OH! give thank to the LORD for HE is GOOD like that!
