The Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."-John 1:1
"the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."-John 1:14

This word is our living power always. The word became flesh and lived among us. He loved us and guided us, He cured us and forgave us, He sacrificed Himself and saved us. Jesus is this Living word. He once lived among us in person and showed us the way to our eternal house.He showed us how to live and conquer this world without being enslaved by the world and how to get purified from sins.

The majority dint give ear to Him and they crucified Him.But the power of the word resurrected defeating the mighty worldly powers.The world disintegrates in this Word. The world has no existence. But the word's power multiplies each moment and extends to the deep inside of a human. The word that got resurrected now live in us. It is always with us now. Since the word in flesh (Jesus) was not able to present everywhere at the same time, He won over the perishable body and resurrected as spirit to enter into each of our hearts and to be present with His children all the time.

In each second that we are living, this word speaks in us.The Word-The Holy spirit is our eternal companion.

"when the Spirit of truth comes, he will lead you into all truth. He will not speak his own words. He will speak only what he hears and will tell you what will happen in the future.  The Spirit of truth will bring glory to me by telling you what he receives from me.  All that the Father has is mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will tell you what he receives from me." John 16:13-15

The Holy Spirit is the living power in us, The Living Word Jesus-The voice of our Eternal Father.

When we feel the sincere love to our Savior ,A thirst for His voice develops in us. The thirst for His words. The power of the Word is marvelous. It can unravel the mysteries of our life, it can make our paths straight, it will fill in our weaknesses to make us strong,it can melt the hard hearts, it will show us the true God,it gives us our daily bread and long long it goes...the power of the word.

The apostolic letter Ephesians 6 shows how to live in this world,

"taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" Ephesians 6:16-17

These are our weapons to fight our sins and temptations. Word of God is the sword of the spirit.

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12

When we reflect our inner spirit,we find ourselves hard hearted, hardened with the scales of this world. We stand indifferent to the tender emotions,to the love of God, to His plans for us , to His sacrifices for us and to His patience and mercy. These can be seen around us each day, sometimes in our friends, our fellow being, our children, our family or anywhere.But our hard heart never permits us to hear what word of God says to us. 

So in this lenten time,Let us learn to love and live in the Word-the living God.Let us sit for sometime and read the living light with us-The Bible. It is sure to melt our heart. in Jeremiah 23:29,God says that His word is like a fire, a hammer that breaketh the rock into pieces.Let this Hammer of God break and melt our hard heart to transform into a heart of flesh that has the Blood of Jesus and the breath of Father Almighty.

Lord help us to understand Your love through Your words of power. Help us to know the power that it can give us to rejuvenate the spirit in us.Lead us to thirst for Your word and love You sincerely by knowing You through Your voice of the Word.Amen

Let us be the living word for Him.
