Summary
It's quite evident as you move on into the verse and the verses that follow here, but we should be able to determine right off the bat right with that first part of that we should be able to determine who John's talking about. It's the Greek word logo, simply another designation for the Lord Jesus Christ, that Jesus is the word of God and John starts out his gospel by saying, in the beginning was the word. But God, he goes on them to say, we declared you what was from the beginning, what we've heard, what we've seen with our eyes, what we've looked at and touched with our hands concerning the word of life. John says, we've heard, we've seen, we've looked at, we've touched him. But today, today, if the number isn't recognized or we just don't want to talk right now, it's harder to communicate these days, isn't it? We can become so comfortable in our own isolation where we can even say, you know, to be honest, I don't even need him because I'm just fine with myself.
