“Separation from Blessing” |
God separates out one through whom He would bless all nations |
(2) And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. (3) I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” |

Christ is the one through whom God would bless the nations. “And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” – Acts 4:12 |
As Christ’s ambassadors, we are “separated out” with the task of blessing others with the good news of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ. “All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors fof Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” – 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 |
In what ways has God equipped you to be a blessing to other people? What can you do to make yourself a clearer message of Jesus Christ to those around you? Do people avoid you, or do they find in you some evidence of Christ’s life, which has a character and quality they desire for themselves? Are you able to tell them about the source of this life in a clear way? Do your words and life communicate something good and attractive to unbelievers, or something no one would want? Are you aware how you come across to others? Can you identify areas in your life that hinder your service as Christ’s ambassador? Are you willing to tackle these areas with the strength God provides you? |
