The Living word

Listen as Isaiah proclaims, that the Word of God stands forever

A voice says, “Cry!”

    And I said, “What shall I cry?”

All flesh is grass,

    and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.

The grass withers, the flower fades

    when the breath of the Lord blows on it;

    surely the people are grass.

The grass withers, the flower fades,

    but the word of our God will stand forever.

Now hear the words of Peter as he explains the meaning of Isaiah’s message,

[The] word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was proclaimed to you (Peter 1:25).

So, we ask ourselves, “What is that word?” Most certainly it is His Living Word Jesus Christ as evidenced in word and deed. “How can a dead sheet of paper with nothing but writing on it be alive,” you may ask? Well, the simple answer is, “It cannot.” That is, it cannot unless it is the voice of God. Then it has the weight of His power behind it, and we mustn’t forget that He is alive forevermore.
