Letters

Short thought from 2 Corinthians this morning.

2 Corinthians 3:3 "Clearly, you are a letter from Christ prepared by us. It is written not with pen and ink, but with the Spirit of the living God. It is carved not on stone, but on human hearts."

Jesus didn't write any letters, unlike Paul. He chooses to use us as His "letters" to the world. His letters of love, forgiveness, and acceptance in return for repentance. I think his letters are constantly changing as we live our lives. The message always stays the same, but the way it is presented through us changes based on the events we experience in our lives.

Is Christ's letter through you one of extreme encouragement that shows His love or one filled with sorrow over your repeated human failings (even this letter shows Christ's forgiveness)? Boldly (2 Cor. 3:12) let others read the letter Christ is trying to share through your life.
