"You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; Clearly you are an epistle of Christ ministered (served) by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart."
(2 Corinthians 3:2, 3)
I took great comfort and edification this morning from our text. I am an, "epistle of Christ." Okay, but the forepart which declares, "known and read by all men," can be quite disturbing and certainly put the fear of God in one's heart.
I used to hear people pray for the preacher, "Hide him behind the cross." It is not the purpose of Jesus Christ anyone. His purpose is that you and I be, "known and read by all men." What a sobering call in Christ. It is as though The Blessed Trinity is saying to the whole world, "You want to know what I have intended for you? Read this."
Father, in Jesus Name, I readily confess that the purity of this can only happen as I am in You and You in me. Amen.
