Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
The Bible
Is like a well
From which
I draw the water
Of everlasting life
++++
St. John 4:14
“But whosever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
We cannot teach
The meaning of scriptures
Through words
Though we can incorporate
Into our lives
The teachings they offer us
Thereby becoming
A living example
Of the word of God
And by that
We can teach others
Without having to say a word
Things have a way of
Looking differently
As time passes
But the word of God
Does not change
Just our perception of it
The Word of God
Transcends time
Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Lord
Our physical body
Is subject
To the laws of nature
But not so
Our spiritual body
The Spirit is subject only
To the Word of God
Who is the law
Romans 8:2
“For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
In the beginning
Was the word
And the word
Broke his silence
And filled the darkness
With his light
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
Why are the
Followers
Of Christ
Not united
Why so many
Denominations
So many
Different Bibles
Why are the words
In the Bible changed
Why have verses
Been left out
When we change
The words in the Bible
We change the meaning
To fit our world
And in doing that
The original meaning
Becomes lost to the world
Rev 22:19
“And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” KJV
Though no man
Has seen God
We can see him
In Christ
We find him
In the Word of God
St. John 14:9
“He that has seen me has seen the Father.”
II Corinth 5:17
“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature.”
The timeless
Enters time
To reach those
Who are lost
In time
St. John 1:14
“And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us…”
It was the power
Of the Holy Spirit
Sent from God
To his son
That gave him
The authority
To preach
The word of God
St. Luke 4:16
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor…”
St. John 1:32
“I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode on him.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting For the Word
The Word of God
Is sent from God
And returns to God
The one who sent it
Is the same as the
One who receives it
St. John 14:3
“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”
For the Love of Christ
