2 Corinthians 3:1-3 

 

Christ’s Epistle

 

3 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others,

epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 

2 You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men; 

3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink

but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, 

that is, of the heart.

 

A vague epistle?

 

Questions in observance

 

Distinction of voice has my spirit. “How does He sounds?” you ask.

Well let me think about that ...  I can’t remember when I heard it last.

What is that? “I go to church every Sunday ... with a bible in my hand

And you know I read it often ... but to live it I still can’t understand?”

 

You say:

 

“I look so clean and well behaved ... everyone thinks I’ve got it

And now I show you it is just an act... or that I’ve forgotten?

You say my life is a routine ... of good habits I am used too

And like a ship on dry land ... just an obstacle to cling too?”

 

You say:

 

“I just burn without a thought ... several candles at both ends

And the things I “believe and live” ... I don’t even understand?

I want you just to be like me ... and follow my example.

I said I was bought for a price and you can’t even taste a sample?”

 

You say:

 

“Keep on trucking little man...  it’s a sad thing you’ve got to say

I look at every one that’s lost ... and don’t give them time a day.

Coming back to the voice you’ve heard ... “where did you say it came from?”

Oh! You already forgot about that? ... You’re right it’s not important.
