Mirror Study Bible 3.1.2

The Mirror is a translation by Francois du Toit from the original text of the New Testament, presented in contemporary speech with detailed commentary. It has been widely endorsed and appreciated by church leaders and laymen around the world, including figures such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Dr. C Baxter Kruger, Dr. Steve McVey, Bob and Judith Mumford.

The primary focus of The Mirror is to shed light on the true essence of Scripture: that Christ, the Son of God, did not come merely as an example to follow, but rather as a representation of humanity itself. The incarnation, where the eternal Word became human, is conveyed with utmost accuracy and eloquence. Jesus came to unveil the truth about who we are.

Just as a devoted student of classical music would carefully capture and interpret a composition without detracting from its original sound, The Mirror seeks to do justice to the original intention of Scripture.

The incarnation is a celebration that reveals that the destiny of the Word was not confined to the pages of a book, but rather found its fulfillment in tangible human life. The words of truth resonate within our hearts, preserving God's original design.

In 2 Corinthians 3:2, Paul expresses that instead of a notable certificate framed on his wall, he holds the Corinthians dear in his heart. They are living epistles whose message transcends language barriers and is understood by all.

Paul further emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 3:3 that their embodiment of Christ shines brightly and confirms the purpose of his ministry. The Spirit of God serves as a living ink, leaving an indelible mark on their hearts. This conversation goes beyond legalistic language; it is an intimate reflection of their inner consciousness.

The Mirror invites readers to behold their own beauty, worth, and profound love they possess. Through its pages, one can rediscover their true identity as they are woven into the image of the invisible God.
