In our celebrity -driven culture, we’re aware of the role that agents play. They represent their clients in many ways. Usually when we think about agents, we’re thinking about money. Agents represent their clients in financial negotiations. Although agents may serve their clients in other ways, negotiating a favorable contract is what we expect them to do.

Have you ever thought or daydreamed about being an agent? It could be cool representing a pro athlete, a movie star, an author, or some other celebrity. Imagine walking into a meeting and announcing, “I represent Ms. Big Shot Client.” What an ego boost that would be. People would see us differently. To paraphrase Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, we could really be somebody.

So let me tell you about an opportunity. The most influential man the world has ever known is looking for agents to represent him. Jesus wants you and me to serve as his agents representing him to the world. He wants us to act on his behalf in our everyday life situations at home, at work, and in the community. When people see us, Jesus wants them to see him. Everything that we do needs to reflect the love of Christ.

We may not think that we’re worthy to be Jesus' agent, but we have been chosen to represent him. God’s faith in us needs to be reciprocated. God’s grace is sufficient, the Spirit is our guide. We are agents of Jesus.

Serve him well.
