LIVING LETTERS

READ:

Clearly you are an epistle of Christ...written not with ink but in the spirit of the living God.
-2 Corinthians 3:3

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Ezekiel 20-21
James 5

In November 1963, the same day that President John F. Kennedy was shot, another leader died - Clive Staples Lewis. This Oxford scholar, who had converted from atheism to Christianity, was a prolific writer. Intellectual books, science fiction, children's fantasies, and other works flowed from his pen with a strong Christian message. His books have been used by God in the conversion of many, including a politician and a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.
Some are called to tell others about Christ through their writing, but all believers are called to be "epistles," or letters of Christ, in the way we live. The apostle Paul tells us, "Clearly you are an epistle of Christ...written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God" (2 Corinthians 3:3).
Certainly, Paul does not mean we are actually pieces of paper upon which God's message has been written. But as living "letters" we can illustrate how Jesus Christ makes a difference in how we treat others and thrive to live with integrity.
Few will have the influence that C.S. Lewis did, but we are all called to bring glory to the One who loves us and has redeemed us! - Dennis Fisher
Dear Lord, You have called me to be a witness for You wherever You have placed me. Every day my life is on display. Help me to live in such a way that others will want to know You and the abundant life You offer.

We are Christ's "letters of recommendation" to all who read our lives.
