Hebrews 4:12-13.

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

Usually these verses are used to describe attributes of the Bible. The Bible is living and active, etc. Let me suggest that the “word of God” described in these verses is Jesus Christ. Note the masculine pronouns “his” and “him” used in describing the “word of God”. These masculine pronouns suggest that the “word of God” is a masculine person.

The progression of these verses climaxes in verse fourteen where Jesus the Son of God is identified as our High Priest.

Let’s try this…

“For Jesus Christ (instead of the word of God) is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account having then a High Priest, Jesus the Son of God…”
