Ambassadors

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.

If there is an angel on his side,
one mediator out of a thousand,
to tell a person what is right for him

A wicked messenger falls into trouble,
but a trustworthy courier brings healing.

For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and people should seek instruction from his mouth, because he is the messenger of the Lord of Hosts.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

I will rescue you from the people and from the Gentiles. I now send you to them

For this I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.

As

Therefore, because we know the fear of the Lord, we seek to persuade people. We are completely open before God, and I hope we are completely open to your consciences as well.

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.”

Still, the Lord warned Israel and Judah through every prophet and every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways and keep My commands and statutes according to all the law I commanded your ancestors and sent to you through My servants the prophets.”

But Yahweh, the God of their ancestors sent word against them by the hand of His messengers, sending them time and time again, for He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

You warned them to turn back to Your law,
but they acted arrogantly
and would not obey Your commands.
They sinned against Your ordinances,
which a person will live by if he does them.
They stubbornly resisted,
stiffened their necks, and would not obey.

Seek the Lord while He may be found;
call to Him while He is near.

So I sent you all My servants the prophets time and time again, saying: Don’t do this detestable thing that I hate.

Throw off all the transgressions you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel?

In

I am just like you before God;
I was also pinched off from a piece of clay.

Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

For I am not conscious of anything against myself, but I am not justified by this. The One who evaluates me is the Lord.

Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.

Be

Come to terms with God and be at peace;
in this way good will come to you.

“How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance?
How long will you mockers enjoy mocking
and you fools hate knowledge?

Or let it take hold of My strength;
let it make peace with Me—
make peace with Me.

Give glory to the Lord your God
before He brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the mountains at dusk.
You wait for light,
but He brings darkest gloom
and makes thick darkness.

“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the Lord in what I am telling you, so it may go well for you and you can live.

“Then the master told the slave, ‘Go out into the highways and lanes and make them come in, so that my house may be filled.

As You sent Me into the world,

I also have sent them into the world.
