Seven times in scripture is Jesus Christ called the Word. Many versions will remove at least one of these, but why does God call Jesus Christ the Word?
Many believers today seem to lose the wonder of what God has done for them. Paul never lost that wonder. You hear this wonder in his testimony of 1 Timothy 1:12-17. You see it in this passage as well. It begins, “What shall we say to these things?”
