the final word
You and me we use so very many clumsy words. The noise of what we often say is not worth being heard. When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love, He spoke it in one final perfect Word.  He spoke the incarnation, and then so was born a Son. His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one. Spoke flesh and blood so He could bleed and make a way Divine. And so was born a baby who would die to make it mine.  And so the Father's fondest thought became flesh and blood. He spoke the living luminous word, at once His will was done. And so the transformation that in man had been unheard, Took place in God the Father as he spoke that final Word.  And so the Light became alive and manna became Man. Eternity stepped into time so we could understand.
