His Word Alone

“Let there be light!” resounded to the furthest corners of nothing.

But God had spoken.

His Word alone produced light.  The very origin of our existence.  And His word alone can flood light into our spiritual darkness.

But man sinned, breaking the Creator’s heart.  The only way to redeem the fallen race required the death of the Creator in place of the mortal creation.  

Seized with fear, the ruddy fisherman strained at the oars.  Waves broke on them, as they slowly sunk.  Minutes away from a watery grave.  Finally they gave up.  And it was then that they remembered their Master.

Isn’t that what we do?  We try to run our own lives in the way that we want.  But once our way goes awry, then we turn to Jesus for help.

Rousing from sleep, with authority Jesus commanded the wind and the waves. “Peace be still!” And His word alone calmed that stormy sea.  And He can calm the storms in our lives as well, but only when we let Him.  When we sink in despair, He points us to the rainbow.

“Lazarus, come forth!” echoed into the deepest confines of the tomb.  It penetrated to the very heart of death, and roused the body to life.  Still wrapped in graveclothes, Lazarus stepped out of his stony prison.  His word along raised the dead to life.

“With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” - Matthew 19:26

The very foundations of the earth shook as the cry, “It is finished!”, rang out triumphant from the Lamb of God hanging from Calvary’s cross.  As soon as those words left His trembling lips, the ultimate price was paid.  Man, though fallen, was now redeemed.  His word alone paid our ransom.

Today, He is calling you, “Come, and let us reason together… though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as the snow; though they be red as crimson, they shall be as wool.”  He is offering you eternal life, His robe of righteousness to cover all traces of your sinful past.  His word alone can change your life.

Centuries ago, the voice of God was heard.  “Whom shall I send?  And who will go for us?” Are you willing to answer the call?  Will you go out by faith and say, “Here am I.”  He promises He will never leave us nor forsake us.  His word is true.  His word alone created the world, calmed the storm, raised the dead, and opened the door for man’s salvation.  Let us share His word to the ends of the earth, for He is coming soon!
