God's love as revealed in and through Jesus Christ - this is the theme for this week, as introduced in the video by Br. Brown.This week begins with one of the most fascinating verses in the Bible, John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
It's always interesting to realize that Christ is the Word of God, and that absolutely everything we know about God is through Christ.
Think about what the "Word" means - is it only something spoken? Is it actions that are visible to others?
Think too about the following: The power of the Word – power that spoke the world into being, power that is discussed in two commandments, power that invokes the name of Christ in our prayers – all of these things point to the fact that while humanity may believe that the Word has lost its power, God has made it pretty clear that we must be very careful with our words.
The challenge today is to be conscious of the word choices you make. Are they reflective of the person you want to be known as?
