| Reading You |
| “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men … written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” (2 Corinthians 3:2-3). |
| The following story is related of a striking experience of a missionary to the islands of the Inland Sea near Japan. One evening a sailor came to ask him to call on a man on another island who was under a deep sense of spiritual need. The missionary, very tired, turned to a recent convert and said, “I am so tired! Won’t you take the man a Bible?” |
| “No,” the friend replied , “It is not time to take the man a Bible. That book is yours and mine by God’s grace. But it is not the Bible that man is reading. That man is reading you.” |
| The missionary could not sleep that night. He kept hearing those words over and over again: “That man is reading you.” Before daybreak he set out to see the man. |
| The Christian is the only Bible the great majority of people ever look at. It was said of another missionary: “There is no difference between him and the Book.” |
| What does the world read in you? Do they see something of Christ, and does it cause them to want to read more? |
