The Word

Greek: Logos

one of the titles of our Lord, found only in the writings of John (John 1:1-14; 1 John 1:1; Rev. 19:13)

As such, Christ is the revealer of God. His office is to make God known.

“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18).

This title designates the divine nature of Christ. As the Word, he “was in the beginning” and “became flesh.” “The Word was with God ” and “was God,” and was the Creator of all things (compare Ps.33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:18; Isa. 40:8).
