Nails

Words have power, we all know the saying sticks and stones, but my bruises will fade and it is the words that stay with me! Imagine yourself with a hammer, a board, and a nail. The nail is something you say sometimes unintentionally, but other times with malice! As you say it you hammer the nail into the board. Later on you realize the error of your words and say sorry, pulling the nail from the board. Alas, it leaves behind a hole. A hole that only forgiveness will fill.

Words have power!
John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

The nails were hammered into his flesh and the holes they left behind will never heal! The words and actions of all were upon him. He chose the nails, for you. So the next time you speak remember words have power!
