Jesus: The Living Message of God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 (NKJV).

When we read John 1:1, "Word" in that verse comes from the Greek word "Logos." This isn’t just a simple word. Logos refers to speech, idea, thought, or message. It’s like when you say: I sent you a message. You didn’t just send random words you sent meaning, intent, and purpose. That’s what Logos carries: the substance of the message.

Jesus Christ is God’s Logos. He is God's Message in person. Everything God thinks, everything He wants to say, every idea, every expression of His will and heart it’s all wrapped up in Jesus. Jesus is the mind of God made visible. He’s not just speaking for God; He is what God has to say.

In John 1:9-11 says, That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.

Think about it, God’s own message came into the world. Not just in words spoken by prophets like Moses, Isaiah, or Jeremiah, but in human form. And yet, the world He made didn’t recognize Him. His own people didn’t receive Him.

Then the BIble says, The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NIV.

The Message became a man. Christ Jesus walked among us as the very embodiment of everything God had been saying through the ages. From the burning bush with Moses to the visions of Daniel every divine whisper now had a voice, a face, a heartbeat.

Before Jesus’ incarnation, there were those who believed the message, men like Abraham, David, and Daniel. They trusted in the promise of resurrection and eternal life. The prophets caught glimpses of it and spoke boldly, knowing that God’s Word never returns void.

And then, it happened. The eternal Word stepped into time. The invisible became visible. The message became a man. His name is Jesus, the Living Word. Glory to His Name forever!
