A word; reason; speech.

The divine Word; Christ.

(Gk) "Word," manifested deity, the living expression of divine thought.

(ha LAH-gahs) n. “The Word.” A Greek term meaning both "word" and "reason," used by Greek philosophers to denote the rational principle that creates and informs the universe. Amplified by Philo Judaeus of Alexandria, Egypt, to represent the mediator between God and his material creation, as Wisdom had been in Proverbs 8:22-31, the term found its most famous expression in the prologue to the Fourth Gospel to denote the pre-existent Reality of Yeshua Natseret - "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). The Logos represents (in John's gospel, especially) personal wisdom and power in union with Almighty God, His minister in creation and in the government of the universe; the cause of all life (both physical and ethical), and for the attainment of man's salvation became born into the Olam HaZeh as the person of Jesus the Messiah, the second person in the Godhead.
