W is for Word

At the beginning of John’s Gospel, John refers to Jesus as the ‘Logos’ (LO-gos), the Word. He is using the Greek term of logos for the One that created the universe by speaking it into existence (by the ‘breath of His mouth’. Psalm 33:6)
The Scofield Bible’s notes on the Greek word of "logos" is that it means a thought or concept, and the expression of utterance of a thought. As a designation of Christ, Logos shows that in Him are embodied all the treasures of the divine wisdom, the collective thought of God, and that He is from eternity. As "the Word" or ‘logos’ everything about Jesus speaks to us of God—his teaching, miracles, suffering, death and resurrection. It is Jesus voice as "The Word" that calls us.

John goes on to say in verse 14 that the Word was made flesh and made his dwelling among us". In the Greek, "made his dwelling" is linked to the word for ‘tent’ or ‘tabernacle’. Jesus, as the Word made flesh, became a man, or like his brothers, to dwell (tabernacle) among us and through Him we could perceive God’s glory. He is the Word calling out to us, healing our spiritual deafness and bringing us back to God.

We are to respond to Jesus, The Word, with both faith and faithfulness, reproducing Christ’s life so that Word may become one with us.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.  In him was life; and the life was the light of men."

My prayer: Lord Jesus, you are the Only Word, made flesh, and speaking your love to us in this dark world. Give me ears to hear your word, and a heart to do your will. Make me eager and able to proclaim your word in season and out, confident in your life-giving power and in your enduring love. Amen
