A child’s first spoken word is a happening. It is recorded in memory books. Parents call grandparents. Grandparents tell everyone. Why is this so important? It is the beginning of communication. The ability to communicate is the ability to reveal thoughts. Thoughts communicate something about self.
God wanted to make Himself known. His self-revelation began in creation, a display of His almighty power. The crowning pint of His self-revelation was Jesus.
This Word of revelation was unique communication. The Word preceded the beginning, would succeed the end. The Word was not human interpretation about God. This was God Himself communicating about Himself. This Word was personal. God had something to say through a person, Jesus Christ, His Son.
With excitement, as a young parent talking about a child’s first word let those of us who have heard this eternal Word share the good news with others.
Lord, I listen personally to Your eternal Word so that I can know You better.
