Meaning

Jesus is the Word of God.

Explication

Jesus is the spoken word of God, the Father through the Holy Spirit. Is not just information, but the effective and powerful Verb that created the universe out of nothing and from the death created the life. The apostle John presented Jesus as the "logos" to resort to a word that both the Jews and the gentiles knew and from this starting point he presents Christ to them. But the apostle goes beyond the familiar concept (logos) that Jews and gentiles had and presents Jesus not just as a mediator like the Greeks perceived him, but as a personal being, fully divine and yet, fully human. Besides, Christ was not a simply personification of God's revelation as the Jews thought, but was indeed God's perfect revelation of Himself in the flesh. So much so that John recorded the words that Jesus himself told Philip, "Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:9). By using the term "logos" or "word" in John 1:1, John is amplifying and applying a concept that was familiar to his audience and using that to introduce his readers to the true "logos" of God in Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God, fully God and yet fully man, who came to reveal God to man and redeem all those who believe in Him from their sin.
