Read 2 Corinthians 3:1-3
Context: Basically a continuation from yesterday
Text:
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. 3You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. (NIV)

Paul's use of imagery fascinates me. In those days a letter was cause for a special occasion. It had been transferred from traveler to traveler until it reached it's final destination. I wonder what Paul would think of a typical days mail in our age? What type of letter represents your Christianity to others?
Junk Mail - Colorful but not offering anything we want or need, considered annoying
Bills - Formal, legal, requiring a response or punishment will ensue
Credit Applications - Offering the world but hiding the consequences in small print
Handwritten Note or Card - Personalize, bringing love and joy
