Logos (the Word of God)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
(John 1:1 NIV) In Greek, "word" is "Logos" which also means wisdom or reason.

"The Word was with God, and the Word was God..."
In Genesis, God created the universe...by speaking the Word. As He created each part, He said "Let there be...". The important part is that He "said" it...He spoke it all into being. The Word of God is Omnipotent (All powerful).

If there was any doubt who or what the "Word of God" was, the birth of the Christ child removed it. When the Apostle John states, "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." (John 1:14 NIV), he is identifying Jesus as an incarnation of the divine Logos that formed the universe.

From N.T. Wright: When Pilate hears the word, says John, he is afraid, since the word in question is Jesus' reported claim to be the Son of God (John 19:8). Unless we recognize this strange, dark strand running through the Gospel, we will domesticate John's masterpiece (just as we're always in danger of domesticating Christmas) and think it's only about comfort and joy. In truth, it's also about incomprehension, rejection, darkness, denial, stopped ears, and judgment. Christmas is not about the living God coming to tell us everything's all right. John's Gospel isn't about Jesus speaking the truth and everyone saying "Of course! Why didn't we realize it before?" It is about God shining his clear, bright torch into the darkness of our world, our lives, our hearts, our imaginations—and the darkness not comprehending it. It's about God, God as a little child, speaking words of truth, and nobody knowing what he's talking about.
