The Word – Merry Christmas

Christmas is the celebration remembering the birth of Jesus Christ, who is also called “The Word” (John 1: 14) “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth”. Bible tells us that Jesus (Word) was there from the beginning and through him all the things were made (John 1:1, 2).

In the beginning, through this word, the creation happened. Heavens and Earth came into existence through this Word of God. Even the first man was created by the Word of God (Genesis 1:26).

Each and Every major events in the Bible happened by the Word of God. God commanded Noah that the Earth will be flooded. And His word came true (Genesis 6:9, 10).

God called Abraham and gave him a Word that he will become a great nation and so did happen. (Genesis 12: 2).

God gave Word to Moses to raise his staff and stretch out his hand over the sea to divide the water and it happened and the Israelites were saved from the Egyptian army (Exodus 14:15).

In Joshua 10, we see the Word from Joshua ordering the sun to stand still. In science we might tell the earth stood still, but it happened by the Word.

The prophecy about Jesus was told through the Old Testament prophet Isaiah 53 and the Word prophecies how we are going to be saved through Jesus Christ.

In Luke 1: 26 – 38, we see the Virgin Mary got conceived by the Spirit of God through the Word of God.

When The Lord Jesus walked in this Earth, many were healed and demonic spirits were casted out through His Word (Luke 7:7).

Before Jesus ascended into Heavens, He gave a word and promised that the Holy Spirit will be our helper and will guide us (John 14:15-18).

The Word of the same God is with us through Holy Bible and in it contains His Word.

In Proverbs 18:21, we read the tongue has the power of life and death. It gives us the warning how we need to use the words which comes from our mouth.

The power of this Word is described in Psalm 107:20 – “He sent out his word and healed them”. This same word did miracles in Biblical times and today. This same word opened closed doors, rescued faithful children from the fiery furnace (Daniel 3) and is doing the same today. This same word gave birth to mighty servants of God through closed womb, and same is the promise for today.

And today is the celebration of this Word, who came to this World to live among us, took our sins and punishment, died on the cross for us, so that we will be saved and have communion with God. This Christmas, be confident on the Word, trust in it and believe in faith that this word (Jesus Christ) can solve all your problems. Rejoice!
