untangling the web

God’s Word came to us at Christmas. 
His communication.
And everything he said and did was true.
He wasn’t a phoney pretending to be something he was not.
He wasn’t trying to trick us, or con us, or bully us.

God’s Word – something that lasts for ever. 
It was authentic God-ness, the genuine article, the real thing.
His Word was not like a puff of smoke, here this minute, gone the next.
And his words were not lost in the wind. 
They are monumental, firm, secure.

God’s Word was not an empty promise –
all shiny shell but no substance.
He wasn’t a designer fake, marked down in price.

God’s Word sometimes whispers, sometimes shouts,
sometimes talks naturally and normally.

God’s Word came down at Christmas
His message to us.
God with us. Immanuel.
