EXPRESSION

John 1:1-5

EXPRESSION. To use words to say a thing is quite common place We do it often, behind backs or in people’s face Some words are bad and other words are nice They are generally more important when we say them twice.

We use these words to pass on important information Sometimes to tell of some peculiar situation That can produce blessing or bring tribulation And we need those words to make clarification.

As far as I know, there has been only one time “Word” is used as a Person’s real name It tells us of the Christ who into the world came Our Lord Jesus Christ and “The Word” is one and the same.

He is the One who on earth spoke the first words “Let there be light,” and lit up the world After each act of creation, He would say it is good He who is “The Word” is in every way truly God.

When God expresses Himself, it is to connect with us Bringing light and life He reveals Himself thus With those words Our Lord dispelled darkness And brought into our lives the things that bless.

“O God, the revelation of Thy Son to us certainly was never something that was hidden from the eyes and minds of men. “This thing was not done in a corner.” But how so many seem to miss the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is the revealed Word to men, indicates a deliberated deafness on their part. Truly the devil has deafened the ears as well as blinding the eyes of men. O God, have mercy on those that they may turn and use their ears to hear Thy Word. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
