Logos was a weighty term in both Jewish and Greek thought — God’s creative, ordering word. John takes it and makes a staggering claim: “In the beginning was the Word (Logos)… and the Word was God,” then “the Word became flesh.”

So logos in the New Testament spans the message of the gospel (“the word of truth”) and the person of Christ, the ultimate self-expression of God. To encounter the Word is to encounter God making himself known.
