In John 9:2, the disciples ask Jesus, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Their inquiry wasn’t unusual. In that ancient world, most people believed that people got what they deserved. Wealth, success, and power were given to righteous individuals who earned God’s favor. The poor, diseased, or disabled suffered God’s wrath due to their foolishness or sin.
In 2 Corinthians 5:20, Paul tells us that we are “ambassadors for Christ.” In Matthew 5:9, Jesus says we are “peacemakers.” In both cases, God tells us about our identity. There are other identities we receive from God in Scripture, but few rival these two. The Bible’s narrative reinforces the invitation and necessity of living in these two roles. Too often throughout church history, though, one of these identities has been emphasized to the neglect of the other.
