Words and The Word

We have been emphasizing "words" this week. They are very important in communicating ideas to us. We can hear a word, and many words will form pictures in our minds. Words are an expression of something else.

Words are so important that the biblical writer, John, chose that term to refer to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (See John 1:1.) Later in that chapter we are told that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word was (and is) Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the divine expression of the Father. If you want to know what God the Father is like, look at Jesus!
