Moreover we find in Greek philosophy the concept of the Logos or Reason as the underlying principle of the life of »Prov. 8:22-31. ^Wisdom 7 :25-27. What Is the Incarnation? 89 the world. And the Jew Philo had united Greek phi- losophy with the Old Testament in his teaching that the Logos is a second God, the eternal mediator between God and the world. To whatever source St. John owes his doctrine of the Word, at any rate he brings to it the one great thought that all this preexistent divine ac...tivity is summed up in Jesus Christ. All that God has been seeking to show of Himself in the world and in man is now summed up in its fullness in Him who is the Word of God incarnate. The fourth Gospel is the only part of the Xew Testament in which the actual phrase the Word of God is used in this sense. But we find essentially the same thought in St. Paul, perhaps most fully expressed in the Epistle to the Colossians. The Son ^'is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or prin- cipalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him ; and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.
