The Ambassador Patch
The meaning of its design and colors.
A rider silohuetted in white entwined with silver,
bearing a red cross, all on a black background
The black background signifies the sins of our past, that we have been brought out of by the grace of God, "Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (NIV)
The rider silhouetted in silver signifies how we should strive to be more like our Lord and Savior. Just as a silver smith works with silver, burning out impurities with his refining fire, until he can see himself in the finished silver. So too does Jesus bring us through test and trials until He can see Himself in us. Not that we may boast, for it is nothing that we ourselves can do. "Eph. 2:8 - 9 For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith - and this is not of yourselves, it is a gift from God, not by works, so that no man can boast." (NIV)
The red signifies the blood of Christ Jesus, which has cleansed us of our sins. For it is only by His blood that we are saved and made as white as snow.
The white that outlines the lettering of Ambassadors For Christ, is to remind us that the blood of Jesus washes us as clean as snow.
Also, the rider who is holding the cross, notice that the hand holding the cross is the right hand, the hand usually controlling the throttle. This signifies that we are following our Lord, giving Him the control and not taking control ourselves. Also, the cross is blocking the face of the rider to also signify that the cross covers "All" every man, woman, young and old, black, red, white and yellow. "John 3:16 for God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
"Matthew 16:24 if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (NIV)
