Jesus is called the Word of Life because He embodies the ultimate revelation of God and brings eternal life to those who believe in Him (John 1:1, John 6:63).
In Christian theology, Jesus is identified as the 'Word' in John 1:1, indicating that He is the ultimate expression of God's truth and character. This concept extends to Him being the 'Word of Life,' underscoring that He provides eternal life through His sacrificial death and resurrection. In John 6:63, Jesus states that His words are 'spirit and life,' demonstrating that through Him, believers are given not just temporary sustenance, but eternal life. Thus, referring to Jesus as the Word of Life emphasizes His role as the source and sustainer of spiritual life for all who trust in Him.
