1. The different forms of the Word of God¹

1.1 As a person: Jesus Christ

Jesus is referred to as “the Word of God” as can be seen in Rev 19:13. This is also found in Jn 1:1, 14 and 1 Jn 1:1. These are the only verses that refer to Christ as the “word” and as a result this usage is not at all common. However, it does indicate that in the Trinity, the Son has a special purpose in communicating God to us!

1.   Humanity of Christ

The fact that Jesus was human while on earth can easily be attested to by Holy Scripture.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ happened in this way. When his mother Mary was engaged to Joseph, before they lived together she was discovered to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit.  (19)  Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to disgrace her, decided to divorce her secretly.  (20)  After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  (21)  She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins."  (22)  Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,  (23)  "See, a virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel," which means, "God with us."  (24)  When Joseph got up from his sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary as his wife.  (25)  He did not have marital relations with her until she had given birth to a son; and he named him Jesus. (Mat 1:18-25 ISV)
