The Word of God
In Christian theology, "The Word of God" (Greek:
Logos) is a title for Jesus Christ, representing him as the divine expression, reason, and agent of creation. This title emphasizes his role as the ultimate revelation of God.
- Key Biblical Reference: Revelation 19:13 specifically states, "He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God".
- Significance: It highlights Jesus as the living, pre-existent, and active Word who was with God in the beginning.
- Symbolism: As the "Word of God" (Logos), he represents the divine order and power of God, distinct from, yet central to, the written scriptures.
- Context: It connects to the Gospel of John (1:1), where Jesus is identified as the Word made flesh.
