The famous comedians Abbot and Costello did a routine called "Whose on first" where the first baseman's name was "Who". There was a purpose for calling the first baseman "Who"! It caused a bit of confusion and a lot of humor - and if your purpose is to get people to laugh - it was a great idea.
God has a purpose, and that is to get all to come to know the Son. To get to know someone you have to spend time with them and I mean time talking back and forth. Communication is an important part of getting to know someone. And since the Lord talks to us in parables and dark saying [Ps 78:1- Listen, O my people, to my instruction; Incline your ears to the words of my mought. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark saying of old] iit figures that God would call His Son who He has given to us "The Word of God"
Rev 19:13 He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God
So it is that though out the Bible we read that people called the Christ "The Word of God - or the word of the Lord"
1 Kings 6:11 Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,....
King Solomon knew the One we call Jesus Christ as "the word of the Lord" because He came to king Solomon and talked to him - and of course those words king Solomon were the words God had for him. Therefore the name of the One (Jesus Christ) whom came and talked to was known to king Solomon as "the word of the Lord".
Today many often want to call the record of that conversation (The Bible) The Word of God, instead of Him who has the words of God for us personally. It seems like they don't know Him (Jesus Christ). Isn't He supposed to be dwelling with us? We are the temple of God, are we not?
1Kings 6:12.13 “Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father. “I will dwell among the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.”
Now I find the phrase "My word with you" interesting and underlined it. If Jesus Christ is the Word of God and He dwell with us, then He is the Word of God that is with us, right?
