Living as Ambassadors of Relationships
James WilsonPaperback 2008-01-01
Authentic reconciliation is all about speaking the truth - as we know it - without watering down for political purposes, listening to the other speak truth as he knows it - with all the respect we would want for ourselves - and letting the Lord Jesus reframe the conversation into truth as He knows it. This is the heart of any Gospel in which the Lord tells us to postpone giving gifts to Him until we have reconciled with one another. It is the core of any revelation that, "in Christ God was reconciling the world to Himself...So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making His appeal through us."
This book addresses every kind of human division from tribes and nations to genders and generations and - surely - the many factions within the Body of Christ. It is stories the author has lived and scriptures that are their foundation. It offers pragmatic strategies for groups and pairings of individuals who would walk as ambassadors of reconciliation. It is about becoming people of repentance and its fruits. The author believes a lifestyle of repentance is a privilege rather than a punishment, the very stuff of the Kingdom.
James A. Wilson is a personal witness to what he teaches in Living as Ambassadors. He has traveled some two hundred thousand miles in pursuit of reconciliation between tribes and nations; he has led repentance activities and events in multiple nations and his vision for a California Day of Repentance spread to include the whole west coast of the United States and Canada in 2015.
