Bible Study: The Word
John 1-5, 14
John 1:1-5, 14 OverviewJohn 1:1-18, known as the Prologue of John's Gospel, presents a profound introduction to Jesus Christ, emphasizing His divine nature and pre-existence. The passage introduces the concept of Jesus as the "Word" (Logos) and the "Light" that brings life to humanity.
The Greek Word "Logos"Definition and Background
The Greek word "Logos" (λόγος) carries rich and varied meanings:
- Basic Meaning: In common Greek usage, "logos" means "word," "speech," or "reason."
- Philosophical Context: In Greek philosophy, particularly in Stoicism and the writings of Heraclitus (hr·a·kluh·tuhs), "Logos" referred to the principle of order and knowledge in the universe.
- Jewish Context: In Hellenistic Judaism, "Logos" was associated with God's creative and revelatory word. Philo of Alexandria, a Jewish philosopher, used "Logos" to describe an intermediary divine being.
Biblical Context in John 1:1-5, 14
- John 1:1-3: "In the beginning was the Word (Logos), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."
- Pre-Existence and Divinity: Jesus (the Logos) existed before creation, was in close relationship with God, and is divine.
- Agent of Creation: The Logos is the means through which all things were created.
- John 1:4-5: "In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
- Life and Light: Jesus, the Logos, embodies life and light, illuminating the spiritual darkness of the world.
- John 1:14: "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."
- Incarnation: The Logos took on human flash, revealing God's glory and bringing grace and truth to humanity.
