“In the beginning was the WORD (logos: the revelation of God as Jesus the Messiah), and the WORD was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD.” (John 1:1)
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, MIGHTY GOD, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
“Long ago, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken to us BY HIS SON, whom He appointed the HEIR (klēronomos: one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship) of all things, THROUGH WHOM ALSO HE CREATED THE WORLD. He is THE RADIANCE of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. (Hebrews 1:1-2)
“We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ…who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM. And He is BEFORE ALL THINGS, and in Him ALL THINGS CONSIST (synistēmi: to set one with another). And He is the HEAD OF THE BODY, THE CHURCH, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that IN HIM ALL THE FULLNESS SHOULD DWELL…” (Colossians 1:1, 15-19)
“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…GOD SAID, “LET THERE BE LIGHT.” And there was light.” (Genesis 1:1-3) So, How did the Light get created? GOD SPOKE, what came out of His mouth? THE WORD, and from the beginning Who is THE WORD? “In the beginning was THE WORD…AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH (Jesus was born) and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of THE ONLY SON from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1, 14)
WE ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE WORD OF GOD LIVING IN US.
