The Christian as an ambassador

Lai vairojas žēlastība jums un miers no mūsu Kunga Jēzus Kristus šai brīnišķīgajā dienā!

Šodien es gribētu runāt par to, ka mēs ar jums esam Dieva vēstneši, Kristus vēstneši šai pasaulē. Ja mēs gribam izpatikt Dievam un piepildīt Dieva aicinājumu savai dzīvei, – mums jāizprot savs mērķis un funkcija uz zemes.

Bībelē tiek izmantotas daudzas metaforas, kuras atklāj būtību tam, kas mēs esam un kas mums uz šīs zemes jādara. Viena no šādām metaforām ir vārds „vēstnesis”. Mēs sastopamies ar šo vārdu Vēstulē Korintiešiem.

„ Jo Dievs bija Kristū un salīdzināja pasauli ar Sevi, tiem viņu grēkus nepielīdzinādams, un ir mūsu starpā licis salīdzināšanas vārdu. Tā mēs nākam, Kristus sūtīti, un pamācām, it kā Dievs runātu caur mums. Mēs lūdzam Kristus Vārdā: ļaujieties salīdzināties ar Dievu!”(2.Korintiešiem 5:19-20).

Bībeles tulkojumā krievu valodā „……. Un tātad mēs esam vēstneši ……”

Vārds „vēstneši”- tas ir tas pats, kas „vēstnieks”. Mēs esam Kristus vēstneši. Ikviens cilvēks, kurš atpirkts ar dārgajām Jēra Asinīm un ir saņēmis privilēģiju būt par Dieva bērnu, saņem no Dieva arī varu – lai pārstāvētu(reprezentētu) uz šīs zemes Viņa Valstību.

Dieva Valstība – tā ir Debesu valdība. Un mēs ar jums esam šīs Debesu valdības pārstāvji. Mums vara dota tālab, lai mēs rīkotos Dieva Vārdā un Viņa Valstības labā. Bībelē ir rakstīts, ka mūsu pilsonība – tā nav uz zemes, bet debesīs.

„ Mūsu piederība ir debesīs, no kurienes mēs arī gaidām Pestītāju, Kungu Jēzu Kristu,” (Filipiešiem 3:20).

Bībelē teikts, ka debesis ir – Dieva tronis. Debesis – tā ir Dieva valdīšanas vieta, no kurienes Viņš izdod Savus likumus. Un vēl Bībelē teikts, ka Dievs mūs ir nosēdinājis debesīs Jēzū Kristū. Mums jāsaprot, ka mēs dzīvojam un darbojamies uz zemes, bet visus norādījumus saņemam no debesīm, jo mēs esam Debesu Valstības pārstāvji un vēstneši uz zemes. Debesis mūs aizstāvēs un apliecinās mūsu darbus ikreiz, kad mēs darbosimies sava Debesu Tēva biznesā un izpildīsim Viņa pavēles.

Kad Jēzus atnāca uz zemi, Viņš bija vienīgais Debesu vēstnesis uz zemes. Dzīvojot uz zemes, Jēzus nodarbojās ar Sava Tēva biznesu. Un tas sāka izpausties jau agrā bērnībā, 12 gadu vecumā. Pēc svētkiem Jeruzalemē Marija un Jāzeps nevarēja Jēzu atrast. Pēc kāda laika tie atrada Viņu Templī, sludinot Dieva Vārdu.

„ Un, Viņu ieraudzījuši, vecāki pārbijās, un Viņa māte sacīja Viņam: “Mans dēls, kāpēc Tu mums to esi darījis? Redzi, Tavs tēvs un es, mēs Tevi ar sāpēm esam meklējuši.” Bet Viņš tiem atbildēja: “Kam jūs esat Mani meklējuši? Vai nezinājāt, ka Man jādarbojas Sava Tēva lietās?” (Lūkas 2:48-49).

Jau agrā jaunībā Jēzus saprata to, ar ko Viņam jānodarbojas. Jēzus redzēja Sevi kā Dieva Vēstnesi uz zemes. Jēzus pārstaigāja zemi darot visu to, ko saka Viņam Tēvs, un visu to, kas patīk Dievam.

„Jēzus viņiem saka: “Mans ēdiens ir darīt Tā gribu, kas Mani sūtījis, un pabeigt Viņa darbu.”(Jāņa 4:34).

Jēzum bija skaidra izpratne par to, Kas Viņš ir un kālab ir sūtīts uz šo zemi. Jēzus redzēja Sevi kā Dieva Vēstnesi. Jēzus saprata, ka mērķis Viņa esībai uz zemes ir – piepildīt Dieva gribu un darīt Dieva darbus.

Ārī mums ir jāskatās un jāredz sevi tā, kā mūs redz Dievs. Tas nepieciešams tālab, lai mums būtu tāds rezultāts, kādu no mums gaida debesis.

Mēs turpināsim rīt.

Esiet svētīti!

  • Jesus got to know God´s will and fulfilled His mission

    For the fact that Jesus got to know God´s will and fulfilled His mission we can enter the presence of God, receive forgiveness of our sins and get answers to our prayers today. It´s important to notice that fate of many people depends on do we or do we not fulfil our mission and God´s will in our lives. In case we fail to accomplish the mission, some people will not enter their fate or the fulfilment of their mission will experience a delay. That´s why Jesus treated God´s will and its fulfilment in the most serious way. The job of His Father who sent Him was the highest priority in Jesus life.

  • Fight for the lives of your children, your family and friends!

    You know that in the history of revivals the key role was played by praying women, because God had given them the burden of prayer for the lives other people. Women know how to carry things that distress them and bear them before God. That is why prayer is one of the purposes of mothers. Mother’s prayers are so powerful! Mother’s prayer reaches the goal! Mother’s prayer brings freedom to her children! So if you are a mother, God expects unceasing prayers from you, until the necessary answer comes. Do not stop praying for your children. Children need your prayers, and other people need your prayers.

  • It is the content of your heart that determines where your life is heading! IV

    “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (James, 1:21). This is a very profound verse of Scripture that must be considered and closely examined. But I would like to draw your attention to several points. Here the Bible talks about the implanted Word which saves our souls. It resembles the process of engrafting a branch of tree into another tree, after which these trees become one, since they have the same root system. The implanted Word must be one with me. God wants His Word to be planted in my heart so that the Word and I become one because it is only then will the word be able save my soul.

  • The Christian as an ambassador II

    After Jesus left the earth and ascended to heaven, He commissioned us to be His ambassadors or the sent ones (His representatives) on the earth. So we must understand and receive a profound revelation concerning the spiritual authority and power that we have in Christ. The Bible says that Christ made us kings and priests in order that we can reign on earth for Him. It is God, our heavenly Father desires that we all to be busy about His business. His business is to reconcile people with Him. God desires to do the work of reconciliation through us – «we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God». He wants us to declare the word of reconciliation. « God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation » (2 Corinthians, 5:19).

  • Analyze your work and your days! II

    In order for us to analyze our day, first of all we need to see that God had a plan of what He wanted to get done. He had a plan, a dream, and a vision of the world He wanted to create. We can not effectively analyze our day and our life without a concrete plan. You need to start your analysis with a question about your plans. Ask yourself: „Do I have a plan for my life?”
