The Letter

Based on 2 Corinthians , Chapter 3

The Pearly Gates,

Heaven

Dear Disciple,     

Forget the piece of paper – it’s you that I want.

Forget the ink – I want your heart.

Forget the pen – I use the Holy Spirit.

I’m not posting a letter.

I’m sending you.

Not Royal Mail,

But Loyal Male.

Someone out there is waiting for a message,

A note from me.

Go out into the world

And be my human letter.

Lots of love from

God  xxxxxxx

2 Corinthians Chapter 3 NIV

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you?

You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone.

You 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.

Such confidence we have through Christ before God.

 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
