John 1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made... And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Alphabetically, Word is the last name for Jesus, but it is also the first name. He was in the beginning, has been through all time, and will be there for the "end", which really is not the end. This Greek word John uses for Jesus: logos means: " the divine wisdom manifest in creation; government and redemption of the world and identified as the second Person of the Trinity: Jesus."* He is the one who spoke out at creation and He is the One Who has spoken out salvation. Throughout His time on earth He spoke nothing by truth, and that truth remains in effect today and forever. Today we celebrate the fact that when Satan thought he had shut Him up from speaking, Christ arose to speak again His new creation: man restored to God.
