The divine word of God, of life I speak about is God's unique divine power with his Spirit, to express himself and to will all things into existence, to speak things into existence as in the times of Genesis.
(Joh 6:63) It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
It is his same divine word that spoke through angels and anointed men, the prophets. Inside the minds and human spirits of men like Abraham and Moses, in the service of their God.
In fact it's the same word of God that spoke through many men of his chosen people in the OT to guide them and to keep them safe. To create ways from his word for them to conquer their enemies as an example.
(Num 23:19)
God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he
spoken, and will he
not fulfill it?
(Num 23:20) Behold,
I received a command to bless: he has blessed, and
I cannot revoke it.
Number 23:20 is the same as what
the Son of God, also
the son of man felt and acted upon after receiving his Father's word.
It is the same divine word of
John 1:1 that performed all the miracles, all the signs and wonders, the forgiving of sins, spoke the gospel to the people, all through Jesus the Christ his Son, the Son of God.
His Son could do nothing and never could do these things alone, without the word of God dwelling within him. The Son echoed the words and copied the thought pictures he received from his Father for any supernatural event to command into existence. The Father was the source of all supernatural activity. The Son himself could only speak as a man alone whenever he was not engaged in the divine word of his God, his Father. Besides, he was only a human man of course, chosen by his Father, as part of his plan for our salvation.
(Joh 5:19) So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.
(Joh 5:20) For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that
he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel.
(Joh 5:21) For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.
(Joh 8:27) They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father.
(Joh 8:28) So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and
that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
(Joh 8:29) And he who sent me
is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
(Joh 12:49) For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has
himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak.
(Joh 12:50) And I know that
his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore,
I say as the Father has told me.”
(Joh 14:10) Do you not believe that
I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but
the Father who dwells in me does his works.
(Joh 14:11) Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.
(Joh 1:14) And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory,
glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
(Joh 1:15) (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”)
(Joh 1:16) For from
his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
The Son's 'fulness' referred to here is the actual powerful
word of his Father as his Spirit within him. The son absent of this word of his Father could never give us grace upon grace, because he never was God, his own Father, to give the word of power.
So what was inside the inspired mind of John when he penned these words as
John 1:14?
When did he think the word of God became into the flesh of the Son of God? All the gospel reporter spoke of it implicitly, although John is more technical and more explicit in the matter.
(Joh 6:37) All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
(Joh 6:38) For I have come down from heaven,
not to do my own will but
the will of him who sent me.
Did Jesus the Christ, the Son of God lie about doing his Father's will and never his own?
So I ask then, when did the word of God come into Jesus, as the Son of God?
