These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Word of God

The Word of God is Logos, Truth,
the Person of the Lord.
He preached the Word right from His youth
to leaders of the Word.
(John 1:1-4)

His parents lost Him for three days,
so harried and distressed.
They found Him where they ought to pray,
to worship and be blessed.

"My Son, why did you treat us so?
We sorrowed after thee."
"Why did you seek me? Didn't you know
my Father's work is me?"
(Luke 2:41-52)

Quite speechless they, when the Word was lost.
The same 'tis in this day.
Humanity knows not the cost
of meditating's way.
The Precious Word is often tossed
or in a shelf's display.

The Word of God created all
when life on Earth began.
The Logos Truth is why we call,
according to His Plan.

"I have no shame from this dear Word.
It is the pow'r to save
to all, who rest upon the Lord,
each chosen one or slave."
(Romans 1:16)

The Word of God is Christ, the Son,
the Scriptures ever live.
We preach the Word, that souls be won,
forever to survive.
