The Word of Life
God has spoken clearly and decisively in His Son, the same Word by which God created life and the ages . The Gospel of John begins by identifying Jesus as the ‘ Logos ’ (λογος), the “ Word ” through which God made all things. This theme is prominent in John’s Gospel. It builds on traditional ideas from the Hebrew Bible about God creating the world through His spoken Word. Jesus Christ is the Living Expression of that Divine word - (“ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made… ” - Psalm 33:6-9. Compare John 1:1-4).
