The Word

I love theology, I like reading, studying and academics. I wanted to present to you John 1 in a way you may or may not have heard it before, but that got me fired up. Funny thing is though usually we get fired up because God spoke to us, but the people we tell it to don't usually get as excited.

John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
 Now when we think of the beginning we see the Father, we see the Spirit, but where is Jesus? Supposedly he was there but we see no mention of him in Genesis 1. Well I propose to you we see him in verse three, "And God said..." Did you see him? The Word, a thing uttered, speech, language, that is when God speaks we see Jesus, before he became flesh. Christ is the way God manifest himself to us in the new covenant, but I believe Christ, the Word of the Lord, is the way He was manifest in the old testament as well.

I will use a few example from the old testament, but I encourage you to look at it yourself and pray the God would give you the correct understanding.

Do a quick search in BibleGateway, "the word of the Lord".

Read through these verses and passages and consider Jesus Christ, the Word of the Lord.
