When we think of the word, ‘Word’, we tend to think about language, the written word or the spoken word. Words are how we communicate and express ourselves. Scripture uses ‘Word’ in a different way. The Word is a person. John’s gospel begins, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.’ (John 1:1) The word is God, or at least the word is the second person of the trinity, the Son, the one we know as Jesus Christ. In the beginning was The Word, in the beginning was Jesus the Son of God who was with God, who was and is God.
