"A wicked messenger falls into trouble, But a faithful ambassador brings health." (Proverbs 13:17 NKJV)
He puts us in awareness the consequence of the way we execute the task we have been entrusted to do, as shown in this analogy of a wicked messenger and a faithful ambassador. How a messenger delivers his task reveals who he is, who sends him and where he is going. The wicked handles a message of falsehood from the author of lies who sends him which pushes him direct to trouble. A wicked messenger not only puts himself in trouble, but also those who listen to him, as well. His arrival brings strife and unhealthy environment wherever he goes.
But, a faithful ambassador of truth brings peace, joy and hope. His coming establishes a fresh breathe of health and favors. He delivers his master's intention - a life giving good news.
As believers in Jesus, we are His ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). In faith we are sent to fulfill His purpose in us. Not by our own, but by the power of the Holy Spirit, who is with us always, having accepted the Lordship of Christ Jesus in our life. We have been sanctified in truth, as Lord Jesus declared to the Father: "Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth." (John 17:17-19 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
