We live in a world of words. Yet, how many of the words in the OED are words of life and hope? It all depends on who speaks them and for what purpose. What the world needs is for familiar words to be cast in an eternal, life-giving context. That’s what the early apostles did in Jerusalem. When an angel of the Lord released the apostles from jail, he told them to go and “speak to the people all the words of this life.”
We have those very words recorded in the Bible. Make sure you get a daily portion of life and hope from the Scriptures.
I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood, I see the mighty sacrifice, and I have peace with God. Horatius Bonar
