What Does It Mean That Jesus Is The Word Of God?

What does it mean that Jesus is the Word of God?

1. God’s final word to man in Jesus as well as the Bible itself, pointing to Him.
2. God’s expression of Himself to us; logos strictly speaking is “thought expressed.”
3. God’s logic at work as the guiding principle and/or power in the cosmos., without which nothing can be known in reality.
4. God’s channel of communication power; how we can come to a knowledge of God; God still speaks to us through His Son.
5. God’s revelation to man in Jesus; all we can know of the Father.
6. God’s language and message to man revealed in Scripture.
7. God’s imprint or sign of Himself as we see Him at work; no Logos means no cosmos—only chaos.
8. Jesus is the wisdom or plan of God revealed.
9. Jesus is the idea of God—it came from Him!
10. Jesus is the mind or brains of God expressed in Scripture (the mind of Christ).

Jesus taught as one who had authority, not as the scribes (cf. Mark 1:22).

NB: The Greek philosopher Heraclitus called the Logos the power that holds all things together: “All things happen through this Word [Logos].” The word itself can be translated: mind, reason, thought, wisdom, intelligence, idea, law, order, purpose, or design.
