Subject: Word of Christ? |
Bible Note: Christ is the Word of God (John 1, Revelation 19:13, etc.). That, like everything else that you have said, is true. It is fully documented with scripture. What then is the word of Christ? Shall we say that the word of Christ is the word of the Word of God? I fear that we are making an obfuscation out of a simple statement, though profound. The word of Christ is the word of God. He did not speak by himself; but the Father which sent him, he gave him a commandment, what he should say, and what he should speak (John 12:49). He gave them the words which the Father had given him (John 17:8). Any way you look at it, the word of Christ is the word of God. There are a thousand things we can say about the word of Christ, what it is like and what it does. But there is no difficulty in understanding what it is. The word of Christ is the word of God. |
