Every time, I get our mail, I often wish that there was a law against “unsolicited / junk mail”. The contents of these junk mail letters go straight from our mail box to our trash can or shredder.
Apostle Paul writes to the church at Corinth that those who have believed in Jesus Christ, are epistles (letters) of Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God (2 Corinthians 3:2-3). It is an astonishing thought to realize that we are God letters, but at the same time, it is also apprehensive to realize that if our lives are not in sync with Christ living in us, someone who opens and reads our life letter may end up throwing the content of our lives, which is Christ in us, as trash.
Jesus said, let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify God the Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:16). American evangelist, preacher and publisher, Dwight L. Moody, accurately and eloquently said “Out of one hundred men, one will read the Bible, the other ninety-nine will read the Christian.”
Points to ponder:
1. What would someone read your/my life as?
2. Will it be as something that is of value or will they consider what they read in you/me as trash?
2 Corinthians 3:2-3 (KJV)
2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
