What does Paul mean when he says we are ambassadors in 2 Corinthians 5?
Paul means believers are to be ambassadors of the tremendous message of reconciliation. Being an ambassador means representing that message to others, exactly what Paul wants us to be. The context emphasizes that the invitation is open to all who choose to come through the door.
Les teaches that when Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5 that we are ambassadors, that is exactly what he wants us to be. We are to be ambassadors of the tremendous message of reconciliation. Les connects this with the truth that no one will stand before God at the great white throne and claim they never had a chance or did not know; they had a certain amount of understanding. The unsaved person does not need to fret about election or foreknowledge, because the "whosoever will" is always open. In John 10, the door to the sheepfold is ground level, in front of every human being, and all they have to do is choose to go through it. If they refuse, it is not God's fault.
