John 1:1 the Holy Spirit writes through John “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.” So our word for today is λόγος. This is the Greek word from the common Greek or Koine Greek in the New Testament, used 329 times. The idea is word, message, reasoning, understanding. The Greeks were interested in how life fit together. They were into philosophy and finding truth that would make sense of all of life. The good news is that Jesus became flesh, God in flesh, and lived among us. And as the creator, He knows how everything works in his creation. This is good news for us.
