What do you think the phrase "Word of life" means? Why is that such an
accurate term for Jesus?

   When I think of words , words do no readily appear to have the
   ability to give life or death. But the bible lets us know that
   life and death are in the power of the tongue. Jesus is the
   is the Word which brings life.

   I believe that this phrase means that Jesus is the life giver.
   Jesus' words has the power to give life and if we take heed to
   His words we will have the life that He offers. Jesus is the
   ultimate word what can be spoken and the ultimate world that
   can be heard.

What other evidence from those verses show that John was referring
to Jesus when He used the phrase "Word of life"?

   When John is talking about the "Word of life" He is explaining
   and encounter with an individual. Because we see this type of
   language John is using we know that the "Word of life" is not
   something which is impersonal but someone who is personal.
   The "Word of life" is something which can be experienced.


If we accept that Jesus is the "word of life," what does that
means for us? Look at each part of the phrase, word and life.
How do the following texts help us better understand what this
phrase means in and of itself, and more important, what it means
to us personally? Gen. 1:14, Dan. 5:23, Matt. 8:8, John 1-4,
Acts 17:28.

   Jesus is the one who gives us life. As the passage in acts
   says in Him we live and move and have our being. Jesus not
   only sustains our life but he sustains the world. Not only
   did He sustain the world but he created the world by His
   word.

Prayer: Father thank you for the "Word of life" thank you
for the sustaining power of your word in our lives. Helps
us to allow this word to be fully manifested in our lives.
Thank you , in Jesus name I pray amen.
