It was the “voice of the Lord” (His Word) that brought creation into existence (see Genesis 1:3; John 1:1–3). God’s voice then became flesh in the person of Jesus of Nazareth (John 1:14; 1 John 1:1–3). That’s why Jesus said strange things about His voice: “Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear [My] voice” (John 5:28). He said, “The words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). It was the voice of the Savior that brought Lazarus back to life (John 11:43), and it is His voice that will bring the dead out of their graves at the resurrection (John 5:28,29). His voice brings life. This is just one example of a wonderfully unique aspect of the Bible. One can study a multitude of subjects in its different books, and find incredible continuity, despite the fact that the books were written thousands of years apart.
