Saturday, Nov. 23, 2013 The Word of God is Quick The word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword. - Hebrews 4:12 Continuing with the same Scripture reference that we used yesterday, I love what the King James Bible says about the word living. It was the Word of God is quick. For centuries, when a woman was pregnant, the quickening was the first time the woman felt her baby move within her. It was a great reassurance because she knew her baby was alive. It was a sign of life. So when the Bible says the Word of God is quick, it means it is living. It also says here that the Word of God is active. That means powerful! There is no book like it. There is great power within the living Word of God to point us to the ultimate Word of God, Jesus Christ. And finally, the Word of God is any two-edged sword. Interesting choice of words, and there is a double meaning. Do you know the first weapon Jesus used when He was tempted by the devil in the wilderness? It was the written Word of God. It was His offensive weapon in battling the evil one and rejecting those temptations that were being thrown at Him in the wilderness. Its also an offensive weapon in spiritual warfare. Gods Word is telling us that Scripture is like a scalpel in the hands of a great physician. That Great Physician is Jesus, and He can separate the inner parts of the body to see where there is a problem, see where there is disease, and in the process, is able to discern whats really going on inside. Now, thats a real gift. Its the victorious Christian life - the Great Physician, Jesus, using his scalpel to free us of the disease and poison of sin. Wow! What a gift! Good morning.
