Beloved Disciple (John 1): The Logos Song

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). 

The Greek word for "Word" in this passage is "logos," and is the origin of English words such as biology, ecology, psychology, and all words ending in "logy." It is also the origin of the word logic. The essence of "logos" is the foundation of all reason. It is the study, logic, and meaning behind our existence. 

"A Greek philosopher named Heraclitus first used the term Logos around 600 B.C. to designate the divine reason or plan which coordinates a changing universe." (Strong's Bible Concordance)

As I study this, my favorite Gospel, I often reflect on how life would be without my Savior, Jesus Christ. Would my life make any sense? How would I survive a mortal and mundane experience? How do I trust His plan even when "the darkness comprehends it not?" (John 1:5)

Trusting in Him is the logical thing to do!
