The embodied, life-giving Word that holds the Cosmos

 

Morning: Psalms 146, 147; Sirach 43:1-12; Ephesians 4:1-16

Evening: Psalms 111, 112, 113; John 1:1-18

I love words - crosswords, puns, how foreign languages sound, poetry, pithy sayings, the way one word can contain a universe of meaning, and that Jesus is The Word. Have you noticed, I am quite taken with Jesus and with finding words that adequately distil this One Word? Jesus is the embodied, life-giving Word. He challenges me to choose, out of the profusion of possibilities, words not heavily weighed down with sickly piety or spiritual baggage. Which words will I use to speak of Jesus so that you will hear what this Word means, this Word that holds the Cosmos?
