The perspective that Spiritual Christianity offers is that the Word is Divine revelation which unfolds the operation of the Lord as the Word within the human mind. John’s Gospel is well suited to this as its style lends itself to lifting our thought above the merely historical framework of the Gospel story which supports a literal reading of letter – into the living, dynamic, operation of the Word or Logos as the Divine power that recreates our mind into a heavenly form. If we open our hearts to what the Lord has to say to us from His Word then our journey through this Gospel will be a journey of transformation as we come to see reflected in its text our relationship to the Lord as the Word, and so find there what it is we must do if we are to grow and progress in the things of the spirit and be delivered from the hell that is our native sense of self.
