Sermon for August 23, 2026
A reflection on 2 Corinthians 3, where St. Paul tells the Corinthians that they are a letter from Christ, “written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart.” The letter of the law kills, but the Spirit gives life, and only in Christ is the veil lifted from our understanding. Christianity is not something we merely study or debate; it is something we are. A friend’s peaceful passing into the presence of Christ shows what that means: a life of love, freedom, and grace written on the heart by God Himself.
