'Logos" A Spoken Message

In the beginning was the word,and the word was with God,and the word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him,and without Him nothing was made that was made.

In Him was life,and the life was the light of men.

And the light shines in the darkness,and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 3:1-5

in Greek Logos has two meaning,it mean word,and it means Reason,and these two meanings are always

intertwined,

in jewish thought a word was more than a sound expressing a meaning;a word actually did things,the word

of God is not simply a sound;it is an effective cause,in the creation story God's Word Creates.

Always Remember that in Jewish thought God's word not only said things;it did things.

in Jewish thought there is another Great Conception,the Conception of wisdom (Sophia) Wisdom was God's

instrument in Creation and is woven throughout all the World.

God's Word is not only Speech;it is power.

Jesus as the Word,the Logos of God.

it was God's Wisdom which Created and Permeated the World which God Made.

in the World there is a Reason and a Mind at work;that mind is the Mind of God,

God Logos;and it is that Logos which make the World an ordered Cosmos and not a Disordered Chaos,

it was the Logos which Put Sense into the World.

the Mind (nous) of man Himself was a little Portion of the Logos

Reason is Nothing else that apart of the Divine Spirit immersed in the Human body.

Logos put sense into the universe and sense into man;and this Logos was and is nothing other than the

Mind of God.

by calling Jesus the Logos,John said two things about Jesus,(a)Jesus is the Creating power of God

come to men.He does not only speak the of knowledge;He is the word of power.He did not come so much

to say things to us,as to do things for us.(b)Jesus is the incarnate Mind of God we might well translate John's

Words The Mind of God Became a man.

a word is always the expression of a thought and Jesus is the perfect expression of God's

thought for men.

Jesus Christ the Logos,The Word Of God
