Commendations

“Are we beginning to commend ourselves again?

Or do we, like some, need letters of recommendation to you or from you?

You are our letter, inscribed on our hearts, known and read by all people, revealing that you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, inscribed not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts.

Now we posses such confidence through Christ toward God.

Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who also makes us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.” 2 Corinthians 3:1-6 Lexham translation…

When we understand these things… this entire chapter is highly significant in this hour!

The Lost, the Last, the Least, the Little

In a world where being the first and the greatest in matters that pertain to one being at the top of one’s game, seems to be most significant in the eyes of many.

However, It doesn’t strike me as being unusual, why, when we look at the deeper matters of God’s Word, that we could find ourselves on the total opposite end of the spectrum.

There are various discussions that Jesus has with his disciples, where he emphasizes the significance of the lost, of the last, of the least, and even of the little.

We have been taught for so many years about the importance of winning and striving to be the best, until the cruciform life may seem to be a difficult concept to hear.

Are we only able to embrace that concept when Jesus is only making the sacrifice, not us?

Truly, if he is The Author and The Finisher of our Faith, then we have got to truly understand the theology of The LORD’s Character, in order to not get it twisted when we say we are a disciple of Christ.

For what may seem magnificent in the eyes of the world, may be very insignificant in the eyes of Christ.
