Where was your logos -> "That is what John 1:1 is trying to tell us". -> before you put it on HC = IN YOU, it was part of you.
With that in mind, now read and digest the truth of John 1:1;
In beginning was the Word and the Word was with (IN) the God and God was the Word (Word of life).
Hence John 1:4, In Him was life.........................(the word of life).
