In this age of texts & e-mails, I still like to send & receive old fashioned cards & letters. There’s something special about paper & ink! (Despite the cost of postage!)
The Apostle Paul wrote many epistles to the early church. Yet he wrote these words about the church at Corinth:
‘You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.’
(2 Corinthians 3:2 NIV)
The Corinthian’s testimoney & the visible God-inspired transformation in them meant that others could read the message of Good News in their lives.
As we live with hope in God’s Word, we too can be living letters that the world around needs to read- the Gospel for now & forever.
Paul also wrote that we should do everything without grumbling or bickering, as we hold onto the word of life. (Phil 2:14-16)
As we live for God daily, we should:
‘Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night’
(Philippians 2:14-16 MSG)
We are God’s special possession, that we ‘may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.’
(1 Peter 2:9 NIV)
As we enter into the Christmas Season, we can be messages of hope & light, of grace & truth & love.
