![]() ![]() There was a man sent from God whose name was John. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. Through him all things were made without him nothing was made that has been made. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Gospel of John 1:1-14 - The Word Became Flesh Here it is clear that the “Word” or Logos is a reference to Jesus Christ. In him was life, and the life was the light of men” ( John 1:1-4). All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. Logos in the BibleĪccording to, In the New Testament, the Gospel of John begins, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The two ideas thought and speech, are indubitably blended in the term logos and in every employment of the word, in philosophy and Scripture, both concepts of thought and its outward expression are closely connected. Logos means in classical Greek both "reason" and "word." The translation "thought" is probably the best equivalent for the Greek term, since it indicates, on the one hand, the faculty of reason, or the thought inwardly conceived in the mind and, on the other hand, the thought outwardly expressed through the vehicle of language. While diverging views as to the Divine manifestation have been conceived, the Greek word logos has been used with a certain degree of agreement by a series of thinkers to express and define the nature and form of God's revelation. To understand the relationship of the Deity to the world has been the goal of all religious philosophy. The term has a long history, and the development of the idea it embodies is really the unfolding of man's conception of God. The concept of the Logos has had a crucial and far-reaching influence upon philosophical and Christian thought. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:1 Logos is broadly defined as the Word of God, or principle of divine reason and creative order, identified in the Gospel of John with the second person of the Trinity incarnate in Jesus Christ. ![]()
