Ambassadors represent their home country. They are the "face" of the president in the host country. What the President or their country leader says they support. It doesn't matter what they feel or think about the president's position. They aren't called to be their own representatives. They aren't selected to speak their mind.
They are selected to represent and speak the words their country leader has asked them to speak. This reminds me of what Jesus said, that He only did or said what He heard the Father do and say.
As representatives of the Kingdom we should weigh our words and measure our activities in such a manner as to faithfully represent our King. I believe that for the most of us this is very conscious in our minds, and we do the best we can to represent the Kingdom.
Problems happen when communication breaks down between the Embassy and the leader of the country. When the ambassador is unaware of the position the leader has, or is adding or subtracting from the message using personal experience as the justification, the Ambassador fails in his responsibility.
This happens on occasion among the representatives of the Heavenly kingdom. Due to poor communication, these representatives do the best they can but fail. Sometimes these reps have read the Word but have not developed the relationship necessary to convey the Spirit of the Word.
This is evident in people who live in such a way to insinuate that God only loves certain people, and those who spend time in downplaying and even attaching other Kingdom Ambassadors.
As Ambassadors we should be concerned with our communication with our Lord and to faithfully represent the Kingdom of God.
