Meaning Behind This Blog's Title

The first time I actually used this title was for my 2009-10 fantasy football team the 'Freeticket Ambasadors'. The term 'freeticket' was originally developed from one of the first tracts I purchased. It was a tract from Living Water's (see the link under helpful tools to check out this ministry) and was a free ticket to heaven tract which stated it would admit one person. If someone felt they did not need the free ticket, they could just tear it up...or so they thought. The catch was that the ticket was made with a special paper that made it very, very difficult to tear in half. Actually, it was nearly impossible to tear which helped get the point across of one needing a free ticket to get into heaven. The information on the back lead the individual to the understanding that the free ticket is Jesus Christ who offered himself freely so the individual could go to heaven.

The term 'ambassador' is biblical in that we are called to be God's Ambassadors as 2 Corinthians 5:20 states, "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."NKJV As I contemplate that verse and realize that I am to be an ambassador, I began to wonder what the definition of an ambassador actually was. In Webster's Dictionary, I learned that an Ambassador is the diplomatic agent of the highest rank accredited to a foreign government or sovereign as the resident representative of his or her own government. As I thought about the definition I began to realize that God's Kingdom is the foreign government and we were the agents of the highest rank sent out to represent Christ. This is just a little picture of how God sees us...one of the very best ways to share His very important message. That's cool!

So, in case you were wondeing that is where the title "Freeticket Ambassadors" came from. Oh, and in case you were wondering how my fantasy football team did in it's first season under the team name 'Freeticket Ambassadors'. I went 14-1, took 1st place in the season standings and also won the championship.
