Christ the Creator

Many people would be surprised to know that Christ was present at the creation of the universe; in fact, He was the creator.  Check me out here to see that I am right.  We know that He is part of the Godhead, the Son part of the threesome, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Let's further examine His role.

Genesis 1:26 God says:  "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness....."  Note that this is plural, "Let Us make..."  The plural refers to the 3 parts of God.  We know this by the following verses:

Hebrews 1:  "God.....has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds."  God made the world through His Son.

Colossians 1:16, speaking of Jesus, "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created through Him and for Him."

John 8:57, "Then the Jews said to Him, 'You are not yet 50 years old, and have You seen Abraham?'  Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM'."  Jesus existed before Abraham, a very early character in the Bible....and in fact, before the worlds were created.

And finally, John chapter 1 talks a lot about Jesus, calling Him the Word.  Notice how the book of John begins:  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

It is very plain from these verses that Jesus Christ, while a man on this earth for only a finite number of years, 33 or so, always existed.  It is difficult for us to understand this, to understand a lot about a God that is so great and so complex...and so far above us.  It is only for us to accept it and to look forward to seeing Him in person.  Our Lord.....Our Savior.

Thanks for reading.  Have a great week!  Keep the faith!
