1 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | Emmaus | 24132 | ||
I believe Heb 4:12-13 is referring to not just to the written word of God, but in a deeper sense to Jesus himself,the living Word of God. " No creature is concealed from Him...to whom we must render an account. See John 1:1 and Rev 1:6. The written Word comes forth from the Living Word, Jesus. |

2 | What is a two-edge sword? | Heb 4:12 | kin | 24334 | ||
When I read this scripture, I think the writer is talking about the fact that the Bible “cuts” both ways. We can preach the Word to others and it can cut their hearts. At the same time we can be cut to the heart (see Acts 2:26-38). Hence, it “judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Think of the Word of God as a surgeon’s scalpel. Someone with cancer needs the cancer (sin) removed from their body, but at the same time wants to leave the non-cancerous tissue intact. The surgeon’s scalpel is so sharp it separates the two, cutting away the cancer and leaving the living tissue. Doesn’t the Word of God do the same thing? Cutting the sin from our lives and leaving us with life. Describing the Word as a double-edged sword I believe suggests this. Because the Hebrew writer says it is “sharper than any double-edged sword” is just emphasizing the power of the Word. I don’t think there is any deeper meaning to the different references. Kin |
