The word of the Lord remains forever. This is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
The Word of the Lord is, ultimately, Jesus Christ, the Logos, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, the only-begotten Son. He remains forever, for He is eternal.
Yet He has been proclaimed to us. He has taken flesh and walked among us. He taught and healed. He suffered and died. He rose again. And all of this shows us how much He loves us.
We also think of the Scriptures when we speak of the “word of the Lord,” and this, too, is true. The Bible is the word of God in the words of human beings. For thousands of years, God's word has been speaking to us through Scripture, showing us God's love and God's will.
So do we listen? Do we recognize the Word of God in Jesus and the word of God in Scripture? Do we hear and obey? Do we read and study? Do we open our hearts to the message God wants to give us? Do we respond with love to the great love of God's word?
