God among us, in Word!

"...the Torah, this wordy presence of God, is not just words on a paper and not just propositions to be analyzed, but the missio Dei* — it is the atoning presence of God among us. As we hear and listen and receive and observe and do and share and summon, we are caught up into the missio Dei in this world. Word is missio Dei, so if we are absorbed in it and by it, we will be caught into its fundamental missional direction of speaking to us so that we might hear God and speak to God and speak to others on behalf of God. "
