In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. John 1:1-4
JESUS is the Word
Jesus Speaks: He is the Word Manifested
He is the Final Word
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2
JESUS is the Word
Jesus Speaks: He is the Word Communicated
He is the Secret (Mystery) Word
the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the saints. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26-27
JESUS is the Word
Jesus Speaks: He is the Word of Revelation
He is the Central Word
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. Colossians 1:15-16
“The Bible, opening with the words, "In the beginning God" (Genesis 1:1), and closing with reference to "the Lord Jesus" (Revelation 22:20-21), is preeminently a revelation of Jesus Christ. Though the Bible obviously treats many subjects -- including the history of man, the existence of angels, the revelation of God's purposes for the nations, Israel, and the church, and includes in its revelation facts from eternity past to eternity future -- Jesus Christ is revealed as the Center. He is presented as the Creator, the Messiah of Israel, the Savior of the saints, the Head of the church, and King of kings over all creation. As the theme of divine revelation, the person and work of Jesus Christ threads its way from the first to the last book of the Bible.” - Lewis Sperry Chafer
