Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Jesus is the Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Sometimes it is used to embrace a collection of ideas expressed in a speech, a thought in the sense of an idea, or the logic behind a concept. Jesus is all of that. No man hath seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him. Not only did the Lord Jesus declare what the Father said, but what the Father was like.
It is obvious that Jesus was the spokesperson. Whatsoever I speak, therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. Then Simon Peter answered him. Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.
Much of the active ministry of the Lord Jesus was doing what God would do. His healing, his preaching, his gracious ministry to the poor and needy were all a picture of what God was like. But the miracles, the works of creation, were absolutely the declaration of God. Turning water into wine, feeding the 5,000, creating a new hand and new eyes, only the Creator could do that. In fact, Jesus said, Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me, or else believe me for the very work's sake.
