“The WORD became flesh and dwelt among us.”

For Christians, the WORD that became flesh is Jesus. For those who like to quote your pastors understanding of scripture, please stop quoting your Bibles and read the Word; the Word who became flesh.

Read Jesus. Read his life. Read his way. Read his truth.
If you want to know the Word, then read Jesus.
And we can’t know the Word, until we have read Jesus.
(and for those who may be missing my point, I am not talking about the little red letters printed in the bible, I am talking about the way, truth and life of the Word made Flesh within the stroy of those red letters.)

Read Jesus.

If you want to be his disciple, then follow him.
Read his truth. Read his way. Read his life. Read Jesus. We can’t follow Jesus as long as we are reading something other than the WORD made flesh. Get in touch with Jesus; his humanity– the WORD who became flesh.

For Christians, the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us. For Christians, that means God became incarnate. It wasn’t Paul, Peter, you, me or the 30,000 denominations that divide the Body of Christ.
It was the WORD, Jesus who became flesh.

Please stop quoting your bibles.
Read Jesus.

And when we read Jesus we’ll soon discover how close we are to God’s kingdom or better said, how close God’s kingdom is to us. When we begin to understand just how close God’s kingdom has drawn near to us; we’ll experience the Good News. And we can stop pretending that we are speaking for God by quoting our bibles and begin to speak for God when we love; when we do for the least of humanity. Let’s stop quoting our bibles to rationalize and justifiy our self-centeredness and desire to kill, steal, and destroy others who are not like us.

Read Jesus. Read his life. Wasn’t it the Pharisees who had mastered the law? They knew their “bibles” inside and out, but when the Word made Flesh appeared and dwelt among them, they killed him.

It seems there are way too many folks quoting their bible who have never read Jesus.
When you read Jesus, you just may discover that on your road and journey, that you encounter the One.

When we read Jesus we won’t have to stone others to death. When we read Jesus we’ll discover that what we do to the least of anyone we do to God. When we read Jesus we will no long have to hide behind the law that separates, divides, and excludes. Read Jesus. Read his Life. Read the Word made Flesh.

Read Jesus.
Read his way.
Read his life.
Read his truth.

Perhaps Jesus was right: That’s the way to God. That’s the way to community. That’s the way to yourself. Read Jesus and you will no longer have to quote your bibles.
