THE WORD

FEBRUARY 14 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

THE WORD

John begins his Gospel (his account of the “good news” and true story of Jesus Christ) by calling Jesus “the Word” (Greek logos). By using this title, John presents Jesus as the personal Word of God through whom God spoke all things into existence (John 1:3; Genesis 1:3, 6, 9, 14, 20, 24). The Bible also reveals that God has spoken to us by His Son (Hebrews 1:1-30; and Jesus Himself declares that His own words are directly from God (John 8:28; 14:24). It is also written in the Bible that Jesus Christ is God’s wisdom for us in every way, helping us to understand and accomplish God’s purposes (1 Corinthians 1:30; Ephesians 3:10-11; Colossians 2:2-3). Also, the Word describes Jesus as the perfect revelation and representation of the Father’s nature and character (John 1:3-5, 14, 18; Colossians 2:9). That is to say, He is God in human form. Just as a person’s words reveal his or her heart and mind, Christ as “the Word” reveals the heart and mind of God (John 14:9. John gives us three main characteristics of Jesus Christ as “the Word.”

1. The Word in relation to the Father.
   1. Christ was “with God” before the creation of the world (Colossians 1:15). He was a person existing from eternity – without beginning or end – distinct from God the Father but in an eternal, unified relationship with Him.
   2. Christ is divine (“the Word was God”), having the same nature, character, and quality of being as the Father (Colossians 2:9; Mark 1:11).
2. The Word in relation to the world. It was through Christ that God created the world (John 1:3). In fact, all things were not only made by Him (by Christ, the Word), but for Him as well (Colossians 1:16; Hebrews 1:2).
3. The Word in relation to humanity. “The Word became flesh” (John 1:14). In Jesus, God became a human being, taking on our form of existence, but without our sinful nature (since He was conceived by a miracle of the Holy Spirit; Matthew 1:23). This is the basic statement of the incarnation (God coming to us in human form): Christ left heaven and entered the condition of human life through the gateway of human birth (John 1:14; Matthew 1:23).
