The Word of God, the first crystal in the Gospel of John, refers to Christ, the only begotten Son of God, as the definition, explanation, and expression of God. John unveils Christ as the great I Am, self-existing and ever-existing. Christ is the One who is eternal, without beginning or ending.
John 1 is the introduction to the whole Gospel of John, and the main stress of this introduction is that Christ is the Word of God—the definition, explanation, and expression of the mysterious and invisible God.
