John 1 Logos — what it means for Jesus to be the Word: Jesus is God's self-revelation, not the Bible itself

I've Been Looking Into The Hebrew Roots Movement and Here's What I've Found So Far 01:07:25 – 01:09:01

Q&A: questioner asks Mike to elaborate biblically on what it means for Jesus to be the Word.

Mike explains John 1:1 by first eliminating the alternative: if "the Word" means the Bible, then "in the beginning was the Bible" would be nonsense since it wasn't written yet. The term Logos carried specific philosophical meaning to first-century hearers. Jesus as the Word means Jesus is God Himself revealing Himself to creation — the Word is what God speaks, and Jesus is God spoken into human history. Mike acknowledges more depth is needed and hints at a future dedicated video on the Logos concept.
