Grandpa tells a story of years ago his church put on one of the first big Christmas programs with animals, lights, live orchestra it was off the hook… it started of with a man being lowered down on a wire from the balcony to the front of the stage as an angel to give the good news to the Shepherds… the cable broke, the man hit the wall and cussed up a blue streak even using the Lords name in vain.   That was it- that was all that mattered - it defined the whole 2 hours by one lousy moment. 

 

The little boy yells yuck at the wedding after all the food, clothing, lights, band, etc… but when they kiss he says Yuck and defines the moment with his mouth. 

 

define the moment with powerful speech!

 

why do we call Thomas “doubting Thomas”. He defined a moment with words that followed him into history. Now I am not saying he wasn’t a great disciple. He was actually murdered for his faith in India by a hindu priest. 

 

Proverbs 12:18 

The words of the reckless pierce like swords,

    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

 

In the beginning was the word… the world, the beginning was defined by the word. Jesus is the word.

We hear a lot about actions speak louder than words and to some degree that is true… but we have all been crushed by words, we have all been given life through words. 

Actions are powerful - no doubt.

But words have an even more profound way of defining moments and people.
