Dearly Beloved, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
From the above context, we learn that Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God, The Word of God is living, and the Word of God is active. It is dynamic and miraculous. It is vigorous and lively because the Spirit of the living God is the eternal Source of power. His Word of Truth exposes everything in us that does not belong to the nature of Christ:
The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword. It can differentiate between words, actions, thoughts, and motives, that are pertaining to Jesus and words, actions, thoughts, and motives, of man that is selfish, faithless, immoral, greedy, and egotistic. The Word of God, which is penetratingly piercing has the ability to separate the soul of man, from the lust of this world. The Spirit of God is able to judge the deepest thoughts and intentions of the heart of every man. Every Word spoken from the lips of Christ are Life and Truth.
The small words that Jesus spoke while he walked on the face of this earth 2000 years ago performed great miracles. Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was once crying out to Jesus. On hearing his insistence cry, Jesus called him over and asked him what he wanted. Bartimaeus asked Jesus to restore his sight. Immediately Jesus heals him and says, “Your faith has made you well.” Again Jesus said to the paralysed man, “ My son, your sins are forgiven.” Jesus wanted to prove to the people around Him that He had the authority on the earth to forgive sins” and then proves it by healing the paralysed man.
Jesus while teaching in one of the synagogues came across a woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her: “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”When the woman with faith touched the hem of His garment Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”’ Jesus was asleep on a cushion in the storm and the disciples woke him and asked, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” Then Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. The Bible says, “For He spoke and it was done. He commanded, and it stood fast. “Thus we see that the word of God has power and authority. Let us embrace the everlasting truth that God’s Word is living and active, powerful and sharp. May we rejoice that God’s WORD is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts deeply into the soul and spirit, for our eternal good and for His greater glory. God Bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank You, Father, for the living, powerful Word of God. We pray that Your word would continue to convict, convert, comfort, and conform us into the image of the lovely Lord Jesus so that we become the person You want us to be. Root out all that is not of Christ and use us for the glory of God, that we may be a channel of blessing to all those around us.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
