Logos - The creative word
from Spiritcode · host Paul O’Sullivan
Two of the four gospels, Mathew and Luke, start with the account of Jesus birth.– Mark starts with the ministry of Jesus. But what about John’s Gospel? He starts way before the birth of Jesus – back to the beginning – the beginning of time itself, when the world was created. His opening statement is: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word WAS God.” Then in vs.14 John says: ‘And The Word became Human and lived with us…’ This is the beginning of the Christmas story! Jesus is called ‘The Word - Logos' - The principle of divine reason and creative order. He could have been called ‘The Thought - alogismos’ or ‘The Act - poeisis’, or ‘The Feeling - Pathos’. But these would not have had the same clarity as ‘The Word’. ‘The Thought’ could have left us still wondering what the thought was, just as would ‘The Feeling’. And ‘The Act’ would have made us just mere spectators of some mighty deed. No – It had to be ‘The Word’. The principle of divine reason and creative order. The Word is the expression and articulation of Who God is. Jesus was, and still is the Logos, summing up everything that can be said about Who God is, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (NB The Word of the Kingdom Matt13) Hebrews 1:3 …He is the radiance of the glory of God, the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the Word (Logos) of his power. (ESV) 1Peter 1:23 having been born again not of corruptible seed but of incorruptible seed through the Word (Logos) of God which lives and abides forever. At a pre-determined time in history Divinity joined Humanity and a new species was born – Homo Divinicus. He had come to plant the Divine Logos into Humanity for all time. Humanity is now lifted into a new plane of intelligent existence. Jesus was the incorruptible seed, the Logos, planted in us as he went into the ground and died and rose again in all of us. James 1.21 Receive with meekness the implanted Logos that redesigns and shapes your soul. This now creates our reality shaping our thoughts and our emotions. It creates what we do. Humanity is now lifted into a Heavenly position, and ANY human can have 'the principle of divine reason and creative order' - that is Jesus as Logos fully expressing Who God is in their daily life – He became human to live with us. He has joined Himself to us because Jesus wants humanity on earth to express God. The Jesus Word is our blueprint that will live in us and bring understanding, truth and wisdom into any and every situation we face. He will inspire acts of virtue and courage, feelings of joy and peace, and most of all, plant love deep within our hearts. It is no wonder this event is celebrated around the world every year – even by people who do not understand or believe in the cosmic truth it contains. It is universal – it is to be believed by ALL of humanity because it is for ALL humanity.
