James & Nicky walk us through 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 and show that those who follow Jesus are His ambassadors to the world. They challenge us to consider how we share and show God's message of reconciliation.

Read 2 Corinthians 5:17 – 6:10
- What stands out to you in this passage?
- What might God be saying to you?
Take note of the three roles that Paul identifies here: “Ambassadors” (5:20), “Co-workers” (6:1), and “Servants” (6:4).
Take a minute to meditate on these words.
- What comes up for you when you choose to view yourself as Christ’s ambassador?
- His co-worker?
- And his servant?
Paul is clear that working as God’s ambassador, and sharing his message of reconciliation with the world, will not be easy.
Take a closer look at the long list in 6:4-10.
- What is going on here?
- What are the blessings that are identified? What are the costs?
- What goes on for you as you read this section?
- What is God saying to you today?
- What are you going to do about it?
