The Word Made Flesh

“The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart...” Romans 8:10 

This very same message can be found in Deuteronomy 30:11-14: “Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.” 

In your mouth and in your heart. Isn’t Jesus the Word made flesh? He is very near to us. He is not beyond our reach. If we want to get to know the creator of the universe, the creator of you and me, we do not have to travel far into the reaches of the heavens and earth. We do not need any esoteric knowledge or need a cryptic Master to follow. 

We just need to talk to Him right where we are, even right now.
