The Word of God
I have always balked at the Gospel of St. John describing Jesus as the Eternal Word of God. Today I heard those words being said and realized that it ties in with my earlier posts about being some sort of Zen Christian. The Word of God is Eternal, since God is Eternal, and Jesus, finding the Word deep in himself was tied into that Eternal stream, letting himself go. Perhaps that Eternal Word is buried deep within all of us, and we have to make an effort to let ourselves go and listen to the Word, that shard of Creation that lies in all of our souls.
As the sermon today went: "Lent is a time to strip away the things that separate us from God."
