The Word

Interesting concept-- The Word

Jesus Christ described as The Word. A simple part of speech. A single utterance.
That Utterance is from the creator of the universe! So, of course a word from God is so much more powerful than a simple human-created word.

We also have this Idea that God IS the Word, as well as with it. So, really John is describing a part of him. The Word, as Jesus, as one part of the Godhead.
It is important that we look at Jesus as essential to Creation. That is, Creation was accomplished through him. This gives us the perspective that Creation was planned so that Jesus Christ's coming was necessary. It was planned that He would die for our sins.

Lastly, Life, described as Light, was in him. The light of Men. The light that would save us. The light that was hidden for millenia now made bright like the morning in Christ. He gave us his light so we could shine like him. He came to the Dark Earth and shined his living light all around, and the Darkness has not overcome it. Never will it overcome his light. The Darkness is weak against the light of Christ.
