THE ETERNAL NATURE AND IN
CARNATlON OF THE WORD.
Rev. ]. W. Clay, Pastor.


In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John IL. And the
Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of
the Father, full of grace and truth,
Yer. IA.
In the beginning was the Word"
(Gr. Logos, Aram, Memra). Used in
the Targums, or Hebrew, Para
phrases, for God. The Greek terms
means (1) a thought or concepe; (2)
the expression or utterance of that
thought.
AS a designation of Christ, Logos,
is characterized as the second person
of the God-head, as a condemnation
of the God-head, as a condetion of
supreme happiness and blissfulness.
None of the gospel writer's touch
deeper chords of the eternal mys-
teries than the Evangelist John. He
was doubtless in the divine order,
best fitted for conveying to men those
deep truths.
Hence he was likened to the eagle
by the ancient Church writers, as
best able of all the Bvangelists to
look fixedly on the glory of the Sun
of Righteousness.
His flight indeed is so lofty and
prolonged that sometimes men can
hardly follow him, even those gifted
with Spiritual vision.
In this Introductory potion of the
prologue to his gospel the Evangelist
emphasizes the God-head Of the Re
deemer.
The theme in all its fullness is
tar beyond finite, human comprehen.
sion. Man can advance only to the
threshold of the divine mysteries
here revealed.
1) In him are embodied all the
treasures of the divine wisdom, the
collective thought" of God. Il Cor
