"You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts… to be known and read by all." ~ 2 Corinthians 3:2

Have you "read" anyone lately?

Often when this question is asked it carries the meaning of which author have you read a book from recently.

But in the context of Paul's defense of his Gospel ministry and apostolic authority among the Corinthian Christians, he is instead stating quite graphically (think word picture) of what the lived-out Gospel looks like through the life of the followers of Jesus Christ. To "read" someone is to see their actions and understand their attitudes and then be able to know from whom (Whom?) and for whom (Whom?) these exist. In other words, "who/Who" is on display in and through your life? (This also applies to the public witness of us as a local church faith community.)

Who is the letter of your life proclaiming?
