Words

You don’t really know what is in someone’s mind until it comes out in words, (unless, of course, they are a pantomime artist). Jesus was a reality in the mind of God, but we didn’t really know it for sure until the Father sent the Son as “the Word made flesh.” As Jesus, the eternal Word, lived and taught, the message of the Father was communicated to mankind in a way that did not misrepresent God’s plan. Recently, I sat on the Emergency Door row of an airplane. While waiting for take-off, I decided to read the emergency card in the seat pocket. “Do not sit on this row if: (You are physically unable to open the door, etc.) The last “If” on the list was, “If you cannot read English.” Hmmmm! Barring a language barrier, words are helpful in clarifying thoughts. As Jesus, the eternal Word, lived and taught, He clarified the meaning of God. Watch your words today. They may clarify what’s in your mind.
