Words

Our world is full of words - great sayings, famous quotes, advertising slogans and so we could go on. Sometimes words can be thoughtless and empty, or people can say what they think we want to hear rather than what they really feel.

The Christian faith is rooted in the Word of God, but how do we know we can trust God's words? John's Gospel describes Jesus as 'The word made flesh' - In Jesus, God does not just talk about love, he shows us what love is like. We might say that Jesus shows us that God is true to his word.
