he starts by looking at Genesis 1:26, where he sees the three Persons of the Trinity working together to create humanity in their likeness. Because this happened, Zwingli says, humanity, being made in the image of this God, always secretly longs for the word of God. We aren’t aware that we long for this, but this is the desire behind all our longings: we crave the life and light that the word of God brings. It is these two characteristics of God’s word that Zwingli really wants to look at: that it is a word of life-giving power and a word of enlightenment.
