LIVING LETTERS
When Paul writes to the church in Corinth, he uses a number of different metaphors to describe those who follow Christ.
In 2 Corinthians chapter 3, he tells his readers that the transformed lives of the believers in Corinth are first of all his own letter of recommendation. But he then goes on to say that such letters, written not with paper and ink, but by the Holy Spirit, are a letter from Christ to the world.
This picture of a “living letter” reminds us how each follower of Jesus is called to be a vibrant, living expression of God’s Spirit, an “ambassador of Christ” to others. Our existence, our words and our actions should convey a message of love, hope and life that people can read and respond to.
In 2026/27 we will focus on what it means to be ‘Living Letters’ scribed, not with ink, but with the Spirit of the Living God.
