“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” | John 1: 18

A word is an expression, a means of manifestation, communication and revelation.

Christ manifests the invisible God, communicates the love, mercy and grace of God, and reveals the attributes and perfections of God.

The Word of God, then, is Deity expressing itself.

Therefore Christ is called the Word of God.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.” (Hebrews 1: 1-4)

In Revelation 1: 8 our Savior declares himself to be God’s alphabet: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

Christ is the Word in and by whom the triune God makes himself known to men, the personal enunciation of Jehovah. — “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him”.
