The Word Is Coming

Long ago, God spoke, and the heavens and earth, the oceans and dry land, the birds and beasts, and men and women and children came into being.

God spoke again...and prophets, priests, kings, and struggling shepherds found courage, and hope, and meaning for life. And the unseen Word became the transcribed Word through the faltering pen of holy men of old.

And then God spoke again, and a babe was born in a manger. And God's Word became flesh, and lived among us.

How could God have done it better? This is the WORD we can understand. We can feel, touch, hear, and see this WORD. Other words fool us. Other words bring misunderstanding. But this is the WORD that bring life and hope!

Christmas is the message of incarnation. The WORD of God, the truth of God, the reality of God took on flesh...a baby was born...incredible, but understandable!

At this season, let me have the WORD. Nothing else has meaning without that!
