[God / Jesus has many names][1] which reveal something of His nature / character, e.g.:

 - Son of God (reveals His divine nature)
 - Son of Man (reveals His human nature)
 - etc.

But "The Word" is more puzzling to me. Why is Jesus called "The Word" and what does it reveal about Him?

> In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

[John 1:1][2]
