THE WORD OF GOD
September 30
Some Bible passages are literal. The Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt and Babylon, a Temple was built in Jerusalem, it was destroyed and rebuilt. The ex*****on of Christ Jesus of Nazareth was mentioned by Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian born in 36 AD, and also by Tacitus, a Roman historian born 56 AD. Other passages are to be taken as spiritual: Jacob wrestling with an angel; Job remaining faithful to God despite terrible trials; Martha working to prepare a meal for Jesus while her sister Mary sat at His feet. These spiritual passages help us strive to our greatest spiritual good. When reading them think about qualities these people have. Do you have those qualities? Would you like to have them? Read. Learn. God speaks in a still, small voice.

THE WORD OF GOD
September 23
The Old Testament contains symbols that in the Gospels we realize foreshadow Jesus. Joseph, son of Jacob, sold by his brothers into slavery for 20 pieces of silver. Judas turned Jesus over for 30 pieces. Moses and Jesus both escaped murderous rulers as infants. Both rescued their people from slavery; Moses from Egypt and Jesus from sin. Think about manna in the desert (Bread of Life), Jonah in the whale (tomb) for three days then restored, the Passover lamb (Spotless Victim). It contains prophesies fulfilled in Jesus. Isaiah said He would be born of a virgin. God promised Abraham and David that Messiah would be born of his house. Zechariah predicted the betrayal for thirty pieces of silver. David foretold that soldiers would draw lots for Jesus’ clothing.

THE WORD OF GOD
September 16
John wrote, “In the beginning was The Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word Was God.” In Greek, the original language of our New Testament, The Word translates as Logos. Scholars say Greeks of the time might interpret Logos as “bridge” --something that connects things. To Hebrews, Word of God would mean an instrument of God, something that changes things or causes movement. We call Jesus The Word of God. All that God would say to us is contained in Jesus. and Jesus conveys it to us. Every word of every prophet and author of the Bible either foreshadows Jesus through literal, allegorical, or moral example, or gives us the words Jesus spoke. Jesus is the perfect image of God. He reveals the mind of God.

THE WORD OF GOD
September 9
The Catholic Church believes in Divine Revelation. Vatican II, in Dei Verbum stated, “The Bible is the Word of God in the words of men.” Since not everyone is able to hear that still, small voice of God, God used the authors of the Bible to convey to His people what He wanted to reveal to them and to us. These authors naturally wrote in language they used every day. For thousands of years biblical scholars, historians and linguists have studied and written about what these authors were communicating. It is difficult enough sometimes to know what the beautiful language of the King James Bible means. Imagine trying to understand how people thought, spoke, and wrote three centuries before Jesus was born or even during His ministry among us.
