The Word

 

Then I saw heaven wide open, and before

my eyes appeared a white horse,

whose rider is called faithful and true,

for His judgment and His warfare is just…

and the name by which He is known is the Word of God.

Revelation 19:11-13

Revelation is filled with scenes of worship, where Jesus is called by many symbolic names.  In this passage, John again echoes the words of his own gospel:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

And the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.

The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.

John 1:1-2, 14

We worship the One who was and is – the Alpha and Omega, the Lamb of God –

The Word.

 

O worship the King, all glorious above

O gratefully sing His power and His love.

Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days,

Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.
