This explains why so many Old Testament incidents are typical of Christ. However, it cannot be over-emphasized that Christ in person was not "the word"; it was God's plan of salvation through Christ which was "the word". 'Logos' ("the Word") is very often used concerning the Gospel about Christ - e.g. "the word of Christ" (Col. 3:16; cp. Matt. 13:19; John 5:24; Acts 19:10; 1 Thess. 1:8 etc.).
Hizi zinaeleza sababu za matukio mengi yaliyo katika Agano la Kale ni ya mfano hasa wa Kristo. Walakini, haliwezi kukaziwa zaidi kwamba Kristo kwa utu hakuwa"neno"; lilikuwa ni mpango wa Mungu wa wokovu kwa njia ya Kristo ambaye alikuwa"neno".'Logos’ ("Neno") mara nyingi sana limetumika kuhusu Injili inayomhusu Kristo. k.m"neno la Kristo"(Kol.3: 16; Math. 13:19; Yn.. 5:24; Mdo. 19: 10; 1 Thes 1: 8 n.k).
