December 19Written on the Heart
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. 2 Corinthians 3:2
As a professor, Im often asked by students to write letters of recommendation for themfor leadership positions, study-abroad programs, graduate schools, and even jobs. In each letter, I have a chance to praise the students character and qualifications.
When Christians traveled in the ancient world, they often carried with them similar letters of commendation from their churches. Such a letter ensured that the traveling brother or sister would be welcomed hospitably.
The apostle Paul didnt need a letter of recommendation when he spoke to the church in Corinththey knew him. In his second letter to that church, Paul wrote that he preached the gospel out of sincerity, not for personal gain (2 Corinthians 2:17). But then he wondered if his readers would think that in defending his motives in preaching, he was trying to write a letter of recommendation for himself.
He didnt need such a letter, he said, because the people in the church in Corinth were themselves like letters of recommendation. The visible work of Christ in their lives was like a letter written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God (3:3). Their lives testified to the true gospel Paul had preached to themtheir lives were letters of reference that could be known and read by everyone (3:2). As we follow Jesus, this becomes true of us tooour lives tell the story of the goodness of the gospel.

Reflect & Pray
When people read the letter of your life, what do they see of Jesus? Who are the teachers who have left their imprint on you?
Jesus, I want others to see You in my life. May I decrease and You increase.
