The living word

 

Could Jesus’ last words on the cross have been?

 

“Do not make a religion out of me,

I am the living word.

 

The living word cannot be contained this way.

Only think of me as alive within yourself.

 

No one else,

No book,

No religion,

Not even time itself

can contain such magnificence.

I am the “living word,” do not try to contain me in any way

less you will be destined to misunderstand me
