John 1:1

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

From Background Notes [BN] for December 8^th & 9^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The first part of this passage makes distinctions between the Word and God; between logos and theos. It also shows the essential unity of Word and God. We have the Word with God, and then we have the Word indentified with God.

The Word makes the world, comes into the world, and is in the world. God as Word means God as revelation, as expression. How does the Word reveal God? He does so by becoming “flesh” and “making his dwelling among us.” What is the net effect of his becoming flesh in this way? As a result, we can see the glory of the “One and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” The Word makes visible the Father by coming from the Father in the most unique way possible. [BN, 2]
