Jn 1:1-18 The Word

Jesus is the Word, the Logos, the One coming from the Father to pitch His tent amongst us. John’s Gospel opens with this meditation on the incarnation rather than an account of the birth of Jesus. The Word is that divine energy, Creator of the universe, Being, God, Father and Mother of all things. In Eastern traditions, the word OM is used to denote the same concept and is recited over and over to awaken in people the closeness of God. OM denotes the whole range and possibility of all the sounds that can be made; its meaning is infinite. Today perhaps stay with that Word, inviting Jesus more deeply into your life: Jesus – OM. Íosa – OM. Yeshua – OM.

He who comes, comes to us now in the silence, in the darkness, in the confusion, in the loneliness as Word and as Light; as Truth and as Love. Emmanuel God-with-us now” (H. Wiggett).
