Hebrews 4.12-16: If the word is sharper than any double-edged sword, it holds both a threat and hope. If we allow Christ and the Spirit to do their generative work on us, the word is a surgical instrument, opening our souls unhealth to healing, our incompleteness to wholeness. This is an initial threat, but we are called to trust the great surgeon, who alone knows how to heal and operate on the human soul.
