[Running On Empty]

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't St. John write this:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the WORD WAS GOD.

So--in receiving Him, are we not receiving the WORD HIMSELF who is God? We are receiving Him, not just his word.

[Uncle Chip]

In receiving His words [Scriptures], the recipient is receiving Him.
