The Two-Edged Sword

"...these are the words of Him who has and wields the sharp two-edged sword." In Revelation 2:12 Christ discribes Himself as the one who has the sharp sword with two edges. The Sword is the Word of God with power to convict all men and to convert all who believe on Him.

Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God who made the heavens and the earth from absolutely nothing. He spoke and they came into being. John 1:1 states "In the beginning was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This same Word divides between those who are born from above and those who are not.

The Written Word is the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God that we can use as our weapon against Satan and all his principalities and powers against whom we wrestle.

In Hebrews 4:12 the author writes "the Word of God is quick, and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

Prayer: There are answers to everything "under the sun" in your Word, dear Lord. Your Word is right and true. Your truth and mercy still endures. Your Word have I hidden in my heart so that I might not sin, and I will be faithful to You. Use Your Word through me to draw lost souls to you, I pray in Jesus name. Amen
