Words of Life

Jesus Christ speaks the words of eternal life.  The confession of Peter was “thou hast the words of eternal life.”  John 6:68.  His words are life because Jesus is the Son of God.  Jesus had said, “the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life.”  John 6:63.  The testimony of our love for the Lord is our response to His words.  “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my father will love him and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”  John 14:23.  We must listen to the words of Jesus for those very words give us life.  Our journey here is very brief.  And so, we must prepare for the life which is to come.  The words of Jesus prepare us for that life.  His words give us hope for the future of our existence.  Our relationship with God is through the words of Jesus.  As we hear and obey His word, we come to know God and the plan that he has for our life.  His word gives us the instructions that we need to be the child that He wants us to be.  His word provides us with a peace and a contentment that cannot be found otherwise.  His word lifts our troubled soul and elevates us to a place of calmness and tranquility.  His word will remove the anxiety and worry from our mind.  His word will purge the impurity from our heart.  His word will cause us to seek Him in all of His purity and grace.  His word will enlighten our mind.  His word will envelope the life with joy.  His word will cause us to see the dignity of our own self worth.  The blessings which heaven seeks to bestow upon humanity are found in the words of Jesus.  To what other source would we go to seek true and lasting wisdom?  Only Jesus has the words of life.
