YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER (1)
"You are like a letter written by Christ." 2Co 3:3 CEV
YOUR LIFE IS A LETTER (1)
Paul wrote to the Corinthian believers: "You are our letter... for everyone to read and understand... a letter written by Christ and delivered by us. But you are not written with pen or ink or on tablets made of stone. You are written... by the Spirit of the living God" (VV.2-3 CEV). Usually, when we get mail, we sort it into two piles: important mail and junk mail. How do we make that determination? By answering these two questions: (1) Who is the letter from? The source determines your interest level. And you are a letter to the world from Christ, and about Christ, "for what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus...as Lord"
(2Co 4:5 NIV). Religious folks often promote their denomination, but we're called to promote Christ-- and Him alone. Are people really interested? Yes, Jesus promised, "I, when I am lifted up...will draw all people to myself" (Jn 12:32 NIV). Nothing is more needed today than a living portrait of Jesus reflected in the lives of His redeemed people. So, deliver your love letter to whoever crosses your path. (2) Who is the letter addressed to? The Bible answers that question: "Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn 3:16 NKJV). Dr. David Yonggi Cho built the world's largest church in Seoul, South Korea: almost a million people. That's bigger than many towns and cities. But as a young Buddhist, he was led to Christ by a lady he only met once. What if she had decided to remain silent? Your life is a letter from Christ with the potential to change someone else's life, so make sure you deliver it.
