"The Word" in the original Greek, known as "logos," signifies ultimate and transcendent truth. It was a title used to express the divine nature of God's word, dating back to the time when God revealed Himself through the Ten Commandments to Moses. This concept of God as "the word of God" connects to the very core of creation, where God spoke light and life into existence. Just as our words express our thoughts and intentions, Jesus is the expression of God's thoughts, dreams, and intentions. He is the embodiment of who God is, and through His grace and truth, we can understand the divine in a profound way.
