在约翰福音1章中的“道”在希腊原文是logos。约翰是特别选用这个字的。在希腊哲学中logos是指神圣的理性，即是那从混乱中建立秩序的能力。这个观念与圣经中对神的教导很吻合 — 神的话必然是信实和真确的，祂创造万物，又藉着祂儿子神的道，以新的方式启示自己，“道成了肉身住在我们中间。”
自古以来，神便透过创造、先知、和圣经与我们沟通。但因着“道”（就是耶稣）已到来，神便更多启示自己。从前的沟通方式不够清楚，但自从“道”成了肉身后， 我们便看见、听到，并知道我们已经见到神了。
耶稣是最理想和唯一能完全代表神的。这与其他宗教宣称它们对神有更好和额外的启示完全相反。当你已从“道”本身听到神，为何还想或需要听到更多关于神的事情呢？耶稣显明神是爱和是那“光照在黑暗里”。
我们需要认清那真实和完全的神的道已来到世上。那道就是耶稣基督，祂是“父独生子，充充满满的有恩典有真理。”
祷告
生命的道，求你帮助我们相信你，好叫我们得着救恩和新生命。感谢你到来，让我们认识那使我们脱离罪和永远死亡的真理。阿们。
约翰福音 1:1-5；希伯来书 1:1-3
1太初有道，道与神同在，道就是神。
2这道太初与神同在。
3万物是藉着他造的；凡被造的，没有一样不是藉着他造的。
4生命在他里头，这生命就是人的光。
5光照在黑暗里，黑暗却不接受光。
14道成了肉身，住在我们中间，充充满满地有恩典有真理。我们也见过他的荣光，正是父独生子的荣光。
1神既在古时藉着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖，
2就在这末世藉着他儿子晓谕我们；又早已立他为承受万有的，也曾藉着他创造诸世界。
3他是神荣耀所发的光辉，是神本体的真像，常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右边。
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." - John 1:1
In John 1 the Greek term for "Word" is logos. John chose this word carefully. In Greek philosophy the word logos referred to divine reason, or the power that made order out of chaos. This idea fits well with the scriptural teaching that God—whose word is always faithful and true, and who created all things—has revealed himself in a new way through his Son, the Word of God, who "became flesh and made his dwelling among us."
God has long been communicating with us—through creation, the prophets, and the Scriptures. But with the coming of "the Word"—that is, Jesus—God revealed himself even more. Earlier forms of communication were less clear. Since the logos became flesh, however, we can see, hear, and know that we have met God.
Jesus is the best and the only perfect representation of God. This contradicts the teachings of other religions that claim they have a better or additional revelation of God. Why would you want or need to hear more about God once you have heard from the Word himself? Jesus showed that God is love and "the light [that] shines in the darkness."
We need to recognize that the true and complete Word of God has come into the world. That Word is Jesus Christ, "the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
Word of life, help us to trust in you for salvation and new life. Thank you for coming so that we can know the truth that sets us free from sin and death forever. Amen.
