What is the meaning of Logos in John 1:1-3
“1.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with God. 3. All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was
made.”
The Word was not created, but was already in existence in the beginning.
The Word was with God, that is the Word was with God in the sense of
being a part of God. So that people might think that the Word was
another God or a God created by God John wrote. The Word was God. John
was trying to send a message to the Greek People who believe that Logos
was the one that made the universe. You think that Logos made all
things, and we Jews believe that God (Theos) made all things, so your
Word is our God. |
