I’ve been thinking about “you are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men...”. Consider that for a moment ...known and read of all men “the epistle of Christ”; not a book or bible laying up on a shelf covered in dust, or pages with countless versions, or memorizing quotes that never take root and grow

...but the epistle of Christ written in “our hearts” and read of all men. The other day someone posted about teaching those who can not read how to read, so they can read God’s word and become “saved”. Which left me thinking how can any who has trouble reading ever read God’s Word? How can they who can not read, ever read the epistle of Christ...written not with ink but with the Spirit of the Living God in the heart? Does that mean they can never read “the epistle of Christ” because of not being able or taught how to read. But consider “you are are our epistle written in our hearts (not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God) known and read of all men

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: [3] 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.


2 Corinthians 3:2 Lexicon: You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

2 Corinthians 3:3 Lexicon: being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.



The epistle of Christ ...of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

We are all epistles of something.....we are readable to all who can read and that is not limited to script.....whether it be the character of God or the character of the adversary.

Seeking His face is the thing! But... the man of flesh in his physical body of 2000 years ago is no longer with us!


We, however, are here and what do people taste when they taste us? What do they see when they see us?

"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matt 5:13-16
