Forgiveness
Forgive?
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all; and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared 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 (2 Corinthians 3:2-3).
Living, Breathing Letters
In this passage Paul is claiming the Corinthian Christians as the fruit of his labor. He presents them to the world as letters of Christ to be known and read by all. They are the Christ that the known world would experience in their time.
Recently we have witnessed firsthand in panoramic view a living letter such as mentioned in Corinthians. A living letter produced by the Holy Spirit in the person of 18-year-old Brandt Jean. It took one act, one brave unimaginable act to reverberate the gospel of forgiveness around the world.
