We are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his
appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to
God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
I work for a privately held insurance agency in East
Tennessee. While I’d like to think that 12 years of benefits experience
has made me proficient in cranking out spreadsheet comparisons in Excel or
whipping up presentations in PowerPoint, I must admit that I had quite a
difficult time creating a graph for a new client recently.
I won’t bore you with the details of the HSA contribution strategy
I was attempting to illustrate with a graph, but the one thing I realized is
that no graph, as simple or detailed as they come, is readable without a
proper legend and markers.
The same holds true for our lives. You see, just like
a graph with an understandable legend, we too are to lead others into a
relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, by the way we live our
lives. If our legends and markers don’t include kindness,
gentleness, patience, generosity, and love, then how can anyone possibly
distinguish us as believers from the rest of the world?
We must allow God to shape our lives in such fashion that
our lives guide others towards Christ.
