“Finally the designation ‘word of God’ is used for Christ Himself. He is the Logos
in an utterly unique sense: Revealer and revelation at the same time.

All the revelations and words of God, in nature and history, in creation and re-
creation, both in the Old and the New Testament, have their ground, unity, and center
in Him.

He is the sun; the individual words of God are His rays.

The word of God in nature, in Israel, in the NT, in Scripture may never even for
a moment be separated and abstracted from him. God’s revelation exists only because
He is the Logos.”
