Ambassadors & Translators

2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.

An ambassador has two primary goals.  1st to represent their leader and 2nd to relate to the foreign land in which they are sent.  Translators have a similar mission.  Its not enough that the messenger clearly defines the message, but the translator must articulate that message to the people.  Both these, the Christian should seek to be great at.
We should have the message of heaven but also be able to speak, or translate that message to earth, in a way common unchurched people will understand.  If we fail this, you fail being an ambassador.  How many Christians speak way over the heathens heads with Christian language?  Do they think these folks will miraculously understand them?  Paul became all things to reach all people.  
I have noticed some of the church only speak heavenly languages that are way over heads while other liberal churches speak watered down earthly messages that cant change anyone.  Is our church properly interpreting the Lord fur His people?  If He died for all men, we must do our due diligence to reach all men, no matter the cost.
