The Epistle of Christ

The Epistle of Christ


Paul puts forth a beautiful metaphor in his second letter to Corinth when he states that the people are Christ's epistle or letter.  Those who live as Christ would have them live and do as Christ would have them do are a testament to the rest of the world showing by example what Jesus would do.  We are better missionaries in our actions than in our words.

2 Corinthians 3:2-3
Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
