What are the Parts of the RA Emblem and their purposes? The Words RA—Royal Ambassadors An ambassador is a representative in a court or nation other than his own. Royal Ambassadors are representatives of Christ the King bringing good news of salvation to people everywhere. The RA Motto reads, "We are Ambassadors for Christ" (2 Cor. 5:20, HCSB). The Shield The shield stands for faith in Christ (see Eph. 6:16). This symbol represents the journey of faith and a commitment to having faith in Christ. The Crown The crown stands for Christ the King and what He represents (see Jas. 1:12). As a follower and ambassador of Christ, we are to stay focused on Jesus and His message to the world. The Branch The branch is for achievement and victory in the work of being an Ambassador for Christ (see Matt. 25:21). Combining skills and actions help accomplish the goal of carrying the gospel to people needing to hear it. The Colors Blue represents the boy's loyalty to Christ, His church, and each other. Gold represents the worth of the boy to God's mission. White represents purity of living, which makes him an effective ambassador. |
