Jesus Is the Living Word of God
John 1: 10 - 18
This passage from John, which is
difficult and mystical
on the surface, is much more plain-spoken than we realize.John the Evangelist uses the same words to describe Jesus that the Jewish scholars used to describe the Torah, the first five books of what we now call the Old Testament.
John is saying that Jesus is the words of the Bible come to life as an ordinary human being, so that we might see the Bible lived out in ordinary daily living, and so that everyone can experience the Bible in everyday terms.
