Death by the Law, Life in Christ
Text: 2 Corinthians 3:4-11 In the name of Jesus. Amen. Have you ever noticed that your house looks cleaner at night? You know what I am talking about. If you turn on only a couple of lamps and sit down on your couch to watch some TV, everything looks pretty good But what happens in the morning? Well, when the sun comes out and shines through your windows, everything looks so much dirtier. Dust on the coffee table, fingerprints on the windows, crumbs on the floor! So what’s the point? The point is this: did the sunlight make your house dirty? Was the sun responsible for making your house messy? Of course not. The sun's light simply exposed the dirtiness that was already there. And so, it is foolish to blame the sun, That nasty sun – look at how terrible it is. Everything looked perfectly clean until it showed up! So, what does this have to do with the Epistle reading from 2 Corinthians? Dear friend...
