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.
