Bible Question:
was Jesus "the Word"? |
Bible Answer: Jesus is indeed the Word, or perhaps better, the Word of God, that is to say, God's verbal declaration of Himself to man, as opposed to His written revelation of Himself, the Bible. You will find it helpful in this context to read John 1:18. 5:19, and 30. 7:16-17. 14:9-10. and Acts 2:22. Jesus is the vehicle through whom His Father was made visible, and spoke. What you must understand of course is that here we are considering Jesus's true humanity, and not His Deity. I hope this makes sense to you, if not, then just ask. Reconciling the Deity, and humanity of the second person of the Godhead, is one of the major problems that Bible students encounter. |
