The image of an ambassador might be helpful for us as pastors. We are not the king. We are ambassadors. A good ambassador doesn’t dress to look like a king, or eclipse the king. Nor does he dishonor the king by wearing conspicuous rags. Rather, the ambassador seeks to honor the king whom he represents, not draw attention to himself. This is true for all Christians, but especially so for pastors. We do not want our clothing to be conspicuous, either because of how fashionable we are, or how surprisingly casual and informal we are.
