declared it good. In this context, Logos is in respect
to the mind alone - “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. This word was
well suited to John's purpose in John's Gospel
chapter one.
St. Augustine studied more closely the
analogy between the divine Word and human
speech and drew from it teachings long accepted
in Catholic theology. He compares the Word of
God, not to the word spoken by the lips, but to the
interior speech of the soul, whereby we may in
some measure grasp the Divine mystery;
engendered by the mind it remains therein, is
equal thereto, and is the source of its operations.
Later developed and enriched by St. Thomas
Aquinas, this doctrine appeared in his Summa
Theologica.
In Revelations 22:16, it says, "I, Jesus, have
sent my angel to give you this testimony for the
churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of
David, and the bright Morning Star." Clearly, in
saying, “Let there be light,” God is not creating
Jesus or himself, and so by definition, this light
spoken has to be separate from him.
The bright Morning Star refers to Jesus, the
physical incarnation of the Godhead. Colossians
1:5, also says, “He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.”
