His Glory My Joy, a blog of Author Luana Ehrlich

Do words really matter? We tell our children they do. We defend our use of words. We remind ourselves to choose our words carefully.

However, at the end of our life, whether we die of old age, disease, violence, or an accident, our words don’t really matter. There’s only one word that matters—His Word—the Word of God.

It was His Word that brought our world into existence, His Word that brought comfort to sinful Man in the Garden, His Word that promised a coming redemption.

It was the Word who became a man, the Word who healed a cripple, the Word who restored sight to the blind, the Word who brought a dead man to life, the Word who said, “Father, forgive them.”

It was the Word who took the punishment for our sins, the Word who conquered death for us, the Word who rose to give us life.

Our words don’t really matter, but His Word does.

His Word says, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:7

No other words matter.
