"Written with the Spirit of the living God on tablets of human hearts," 2 Corinthians 3:3.
The Spirit of the living God writes a recommendation letter. A letter that everybody can read. The letter says there is a new covenant, a ministry of liberty. So where is this letter written? Be sure: It's not carved in stone. It's not with ink. It's with the Spirit. It's written on the heart of each believer. And the letter's envelope? The church of the living God envelops the letter. The letter's message: The Spirit approves the church as the locus of its ministry. The dwelling place of God among humans. The new Jerusalem. The new temple.
When we visit with a brother or sister today, we open our hearts for anyone to read Spirit's message. And together we give thanks to Christ for sealing this ministry with his blood.
