Your Ambassadorship to Him

"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?' He said to him, 'Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.' He said to him, 'Feed my lambs.'" (John 21:15)

If God is our King, are we doing the King's business? Or do we have our own agenda? After Jesus was crucified, the disciples disbanded and went back to their former way of life. Here, Jesus finds Peter and some others resuming their lives as fishermen. They weren't living as ambassadors. Jesus, having risen from the tomb, approaches them and takes Peter aside. He convinces Peter that Peter really does love Jesus. Jesus says, then, "Go. Feed my sheep."

1.  What has Jesus called you to do in your ambassadorship to him?

2. If you don't know, how might you find out what Jesus wants you to be doing for him?

3. If you do know, what steps can you take to ensure you're following his plan and not losing sight of it?
