Ambassadors: Figurative

Yet if there is a messenger on his side, one mediator in a thousand, to tell a man what is right for him,

This is the vision of Obadiah: This is what the Lord GOD says about Edom—We have heard a message from the LORD; an envoy has been sent among the nations to say, “Rise up, and let us go to battle against her!”—

Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making His appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.

…for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it fearlessly, as I should.
