‘You’ve got mail’ is a familiar phrase in our messaging madness. Whereas, I once eyeballed an outside mailbox for personal airmail letters; I can now right-click my email box icon.

Voila` I’ve got mail.

Many erroneously conclude that the Bible of Christianity is irrelevant and outdated.

Wrong! We’ve got mail.

The Bible is God’s love letter to a distant people. 

“The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying:
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love;
Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you (Jeremiah 31:3 NKJ).”  

As we open our New Testament mail, we discover letters of challenge and encouragement from the Gospel writers. 

Join with me in reading the opening of Paul’s passionate letter, to the church at Ephesus…

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved (Ephesians 1:1-6 NKJ).”

Hallelujah, we’ve got mail!
