"The Word" in the original Greek, known as "logos," signifies ultimate and transcendent truth. It was a title used to express the divine nature of God's word, dating back to the time when God revealed Himself through the Ten Commandments to Moses. This concept of God as "the word of God" connects to the very core of creation, where God spoke light and life into existence. Just as our words express our thoughts and intentions, Jesus is the expression of God's thoughts, dreams, and intentions. He is the embodiment of who God is, and through His grace and truth, we can understand the divine in a profound way.

Join us today as we delve into the biblical narratives that foreshadowed the ultimate redeemer promised throughout the Bible. In Genesis, God's promise of redemption through the 'Son of Eve' serves as the earliest foreshadowing of Jesus, who would ultimately defeat sin on the cross.

In the end, the Bible is the Story of Jesus, a story of a loving God who pursues a broken and far-off people, a story that brings hope to the lost and points to a Savior who lays down his life for those he loves.
