John 1

I1n the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

John 1:1 — Matthew Henry
The plainest reason why the Son of God is called the Word, seems to be, that as our words explain our minds to others, so was the Son of God sent in order to reveal his Father's mind to the world...
John 1:3 — Matthew Henry
All things were made by the Word: nothing was made without him. This shows how well qualified he was for the work of our redemption and salvation...
