Was Christ's "Word of God" more powerful and more profound than reading a Bible?

Christ used the term "Word of God" in the parable of the sower to describe the seed that he was sowing out to everyone, and said his Word had the potential to produce a bountiful crop. (Gospel of Luke)

Now, keep in mind, he was giving his "Word of God" out before the Crucifixion, which means that it had nothing at all to do with blood for sin… but it did have the potential to produce a bountiful crop.

Do you think Christ’s "Word of God" was more profound and more powerful than the "word" that is read from a book (Bible) these days?

(This question and puzzle about "the Word" came from http://gospelenigma.com if you want to look into the complete context)

Why do believers think the Bible is the “Word of God?” (Jesus used the term long before the Bible came along)?

The New Testament did not even exist when Jesus used the term "Word of God" in the Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:11). So why in the world would believers think that something that did not exist would be included in what Jesus himself called the "Word of God?"

Was he sowing out Bibles?

Just exactly what was Jesus sowing out to all those people that would bring a "bountiful crop." It certainly was not the Bible… and it certainly was not himself if he was the one who was sowing that word.

Was it his message?… and if so, what particular message of his was called the "Word of God?"

This question (puzzle) comes from the Gospel Enigma e-book.
