The word THE is singular, meaning there is only one. My study took me into Greek and Hebrew lexicons and dictionaries and many times I had to go back to the Lord and ask Him to shed light on things that I did not understand.
He always came through with answers that made sense, as you would expect.
When I was at Bible College I was taught that the logos was the written word and rhema the quickened word. In John chapter 1 where the Bible so plainly describes Jesus as being The Word of God the Greek word for 'word' is logos.
My studies showed me that in the New Testament that Jesus is The Word (logos) of God. Rhema on the other hand is a revealed or quickened word or message.
BIG W OR little w?
Many people have told me that the word (small w) of God is the Bible and The Word of God is Jesus. When I asked God about this His reply was to forget about the W/w concept and that He would teach me.
JESUS - THE WORD OF GOD TODAY
There are many instances in the Bible where The Word of God or The Word of The Lord is mentioned. Couples that spring to mind immediately are:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” John 1:1-2
“And the Word became flesh (Jesus), and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.” - John 1:14
“And He had been clothed in a garment dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.” Rev 19:13
“For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.” Heb 4:12-13
The Word of God is the name, identity, title and honour given to Jesus alone. This is who He is. As The Power of the Word of God, He is the promise of God and the fulfillment of that promise. Because Jesus always was, and always will be The Word of God, the very reputation of God was dependent on Jesus fulfilling the promise of salvation. To call anything else The Word (or word) of God takes this away from Him.
