Jesus the creative Word of our God

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

Jesus is the eternal, personal, and divine Word of God. The apostle John says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Jesus is the creative Word of God. Through him God made all things, and nothing that has been made was made without him. He is the life, and he alone has the authority to give life. He is the light of the world, the true light that illuminates every person. Jesus is the Word made flesh who lived among us. Jesus is God clothed in human skin.

In him, the eternal became tangible in time, the divine became human and came down from heaven to earth. Jesus is “full of grace and truth.” In him the Father’s glory shines in all its brilliance.

In Jesus dwells the fullness of divinity. He himself said it: “My sheep listen to my voice… I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one” (John 10:27-30).

Jesus came to reveal God. He is the exact expression of God (Hebrews 1:3). Jesus is God among us; he is God for us and “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).
