Today's word is "ver-NAK-yuh-rahyz ... to translate into the natural speech peculiar to a people. (Dictionary.com)
Barrier
Why is it that God's Word came down,
In new form, in flesh and bone,
To this earth and time and space,
With human form and human face?
This world speaks its vernacular,
To each of us, it's true and clear,
But Spirit speech mysteriously comes,
And we are quick its voice to shun.
When enfleshed he stood among us,
His words and manner inspired trust,
As heart to heart spoke his love,
That we should picture God above.
