Stephen R., List: SR: I understand the Abba to whom Jesus refers with authority in Mark 1 to be equivalent to the Word of whom John spoke ...
No, John is quite clear that Jesus Himself is the Word (*logos*), as well as the Son of God the Father (*Abba*). And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth ... For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
