If you doubt the power of words, remember what John the disciple wrote under divine inspiration. He said, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). John was describing Jesus, the Son of God, who was identified personally with words. Can a better case be made than that? Matthew, Mark, and Luke each describe a related prophetic statement made by Jesus that confirms the eternal nature of His teachings. He said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35). We remember what Christ said to this hour, more than two thousand years later.Words are a mighty instrument with lasting power to enlighten, encourage, and heal or, when used carelessly, to wound and destroy. How we use them has eternal impact: “Your words now reflect your fate then: either you will be justified by them or you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37, tlb). As parents, let’s choose words that always benefit our kids and bring glory to God.
