Words have power. Words are powerful to build up but also to break down. In Gen 1 we read God spoke creation into being, Isaiah teaches us that God's Word never returns void to Him but in John 1:1 this all comes together in a huge introduction to the person who IS THE WORD.
John 1:1-4 and 10-14 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." NKJV
Jesus Himself is the Word, He was with God, He is God. When He speaks things are created. Nothing He says goes astray nor does any Word He speaks return void or empty. He speaks blessing no less than 3 times in the creation story. He speaks and there is life and this life is our light in a dark world. It is a light and a life that the darkness does not understand. So imagine a dark world where there is no light - ever... and then comes God's Word and it brings life and light - imagine the utter wonder and incomprehensibility and surprise.
And then God came and gave us His Spirit in our hearts and His Word in our mouths. Words to speak blessing, Words to speak healing and life and light into the dark world of another human being. Words of healing and joy, grace and mercy. Sometimes words of warning and admonishing in love. Words of forgiveness and freedom.
What kind of words do we speak? Let us focus on speaking Kingdom Words that bring the life and light and blessing of the Jesus who is The Word into a dark world that does not comprehend it.
Let's worship Him who is:
