Word, The
(Gr. 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 (comp. Ps 33:1–22: 6; Ps 107:20; Ps 119:89; Ps 147:18; Isa 40:8).
