(Jesus Christ: He Is The Divine “Logos”)
TO THE BIBLE: John 1:1 ESV
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
LET’S TALK
The term “Word” in our opening scripture above is the Greek term “Logos,” which describes God’s Word presented to us as His opinions, thoughts, ideas, doctrines, treatises, accounts, wisdom, knowledge, plans, and purposes.
Thus, our knowledge and understanding of the Word are crucial. When God speaks His Word to you, even if all He says is, “Go,” that phrase alone will guide and guard your life in everything. That’s because all of Him and all that He represents are in His Word (the divine Logos). Hallelujah!
This Logos of God made all things: “He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:2-3).
Suddenly, we observe that the Apostle John gives personality to the Logos of God; he uses the personal pronoun “Him” instead of “it.”
Then in verse 14, it becomes even clearer; it says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
Imagine all of God’s ideas, all of God’s knowledge, all of God’s wisdom, all of who He is—in personality, in quality, all of His ability to perceive—all of that in the divine Logos—became flesh and lived among us. This is Jesus! Jesus is the divine Logos.
The Word God spoke, His “speech,” became a man; the Word of God became a living, breathing human being!
When they saw Him in Bible days, as He walked by, they saw the totality of the mind and will of God the Father. He was God’s message in flesh. Glory to God, hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your opinions, thoughts, ideas, doctrines, treatises, accounts, revelations, and comprehension encapsulated in your Word. As I study and meditate on the divine truths and wisdom in the Scriptures, your Word puts me over and above all situations, causing me to excel in everything, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
