You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all.

– 2 Corinthians 3:2

Skeptics often ask, “What evidence do you have for the veracity of Scripture and the reality of God? Frankly, I think it is hard to argue with the changed lives of the saints of God. Therefore Jesus would say, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

– 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

I am grateful that God, our Father, is called the “Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.” There is comfort simply in this! He does not just comfort us. He is the God of all comfort, and as such He “comforts us in all our tribulation. But don’t miss that we then, in turn, are to be a comfort to others, with the comfort with which we ourselves have been comforted by God.

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen…

– 1 Corinthians 15:3-5

This is the Gospel simply stated. Christ died for our sins, as foretold by the prophets. He was buried (because he was dead), and He rose again the third day, in accordance with the Scriptures. And the risen and alive (from the dead) Jesus was seen by witnesses.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

– 1 Corinthians 13:13

Faith, hope and love are the marks of a maturing follower of Jesus. As we grow in our walk with Christ we should increase in faith, hope and love. That being the case, these three are an important gauge for self examination as a disciple.

Is your trust in God growing? Do you trust Him for your eternal salvation? Do you trust Him for your earthly provision? Is your hope in God or your 401k? Is it a confident hope or a wishful thinking hope filled with doubt? Are you loving God and loving others? And is that love being expressed in an overflow of good works? This are hard questions to wrestle with, but it’s important that we do. Because growing disciples of Jesus are growing in faith, hope and love.

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

— 1 Corinthians 11:26

As we gather together, as the body of Christ, and as we partake of the bread and the cup, at the Lord’s table, we must never lose sight of the fact that in His death and burial, there is also the resurrection which leads us to our great hope of His return. The church for the last 2,000 years has continued to “proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” We worship and remember the risen Christ. And we look forward to His eventual return.
