The Word of God

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)

Christ, as the Word, was and is God’s way of communication with His people that He came to save. The Word was silent to some and yet very scolding to others such as the Pharisees and hypocrites. And yet to His own He speaks! What Grace to be spoken to by THE WORD!

What did the Word say for all men to hear from Calvary? What was His attitude toward sin laden, burdened down with guilt, hell deserving sinners? Yea, what has your soul heard from God Himself when His Word has cut out all your foundations from under you and driven you out of all your refuge of lives. All your hoping you are one of God’s elect is gone and you are expecting the worst.

Listen, I hear the Word made flesh saying, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) It is the Word of a Complete Savior’s sacrifice, well pleasing to the Father and the blood to satisfy the justice of God having made peace through His death. Can you also not hear the Word coming forth from the cross, “It is finished”? All the Word being sharper than any two- edged sword, rebuking and chastening leads up to this when the Word in the heart comes and does say, ‘Christ died for me.' Redeemed one, never be lost again because you have been found! Never be condemned again because His Word says, “There is therefore NOW no condemnation.” (Romans 8:1)
