Word, The:

(Gr. Logos), one of the titles of our Lord, found only in the writings of John (Jhn 1:1-14; 1Jo 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" (Jhn 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 (Psa 33:6; 107:20; 119:89; 147:18; Isa 40:8).
