He showed God’s love

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:1-3)

 Jesus was most of all the Word of God. What is a “word”? The Greek uses the word “logos,” meaning “word,” but it has a very deep meaning. “Logos” is a kind of word which means it is an expression, or even a manifestation of something. So Jesus is the expression of God.
 God was trying to communicate His love through Jesus, making Jesus an expression of God’s love. God wanted to show the world His love. You can’t see love, you can’t see God, so He sent His Word. He said it in Jesus! He showed it in Jesus. He expressed it in Jesus. He communicated it in Jesus!
 This is the depth of the Greek word “logos,” meaning a real genuine expression, something that is almost tangible; it’s so expressive and so real and says it so effectively with such expression, such meaning.
 Jesus was the expression of God’s love. He was the meaning of God’s love. He was the communication of God’s love. He said God’s love. He showed God’s love. He symbolized God’s love. He manifested God’s love. —P. Amsterdam [1]

 When the Bible speaks of God’s love for us and the kind of love we are to have for him and for other people, the word is always agape, signifying a commitment to act. —Rick Warren
