How Can You Be A Letter of Christ Like in 2 Corinthians 3:2?

     
I like to write. For ten years I wrote Bible day camp plays and skits, and I also like to write short stories on character traits.   Anyway this week I read a Life-Study  that reminded me that Christ also likes to write--but He writes on our hearts (2 Cor. 3:3).  In  chapter 6 of the Life-Study of 2 Corinthians,  and on page 49 Witness Lee expounds this passage.  Here's what I liked:

In verse 3 Paul says that the letter of Christ is inscribed "not in tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the heart." Our heart, as the composition of our conscience (the leading part of our spirit), mind, emotion, and will, is the tablet upon which the living letters of Christ are written with the living Spirit of God. This implies that Christ is written into every part of our inner being with the Spirit of the living God to make us His living letters, that He may be expressed in us, and read by others in us (Lee, Witness. Life-Study of 2 Corinthians. Anaheim: Living Stream Ministry, 1982, Print).
    After saying this he points out on the next page that "Christ making His home in our heart [Ephesians 3:16] equals the writing of Christ throughout our inner being" (Page 50). What touched me in these messages is that Christ writes on us through the ministers of the New Testament.  So that made me think that whenever I hear a message or read some spiritual writing, this is how I am allowing Christ to write more of Himself into my heart. Lord, do this more today in all of us!   

Here's a link so you can listen to any of the programs on the Life Study of the Bible with Witness Lee that are on the book of  1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians.
