Dear Readers, in the previous post, we saw why the Lord Jesus Christ was
the greatest person to have ever walked the face of the earth. He was God in
human form who came down to this sin cursed earth because he loved mankind (his
very creation) and did not want them to perish in their sins. We also need to
know that the Lord Jesus Chirst is the Great Creator of all things and also an
eternal person, unbound by time and space. So, in this post, we are going to
see the “Lord Jesus Christ” as the Great Creator, who is an eternal person, the
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Firstly, we will see the Lord Jesus
Christ as the great Creator. Without trying to explain too much I would rather
quote some references directly from the Holy Bible as mentioned below:-
(Pls refer Holy Bible - Colossians Ch 1: Verses 15 - 17) - King James
Version - Bible link provided at the end of this page)
who is the image of
the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all
things consist:
(Pls refer Holy Bible - Isaiah Ch 40: Verse 28) - King James Version
Hast thou not
known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of
the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of
his understanding.
(Pls refer Holy Bible - Nehemiah Ch 9: Verse 6) - King James Version
¶ Thou, even thou,
art Lord alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their
host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is
therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth
thee.
(Pls refer Holy Bible - 1 Corinthians Ch 8: Verse 6) - King James
Version
but to us there is
but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
I have just quoted
4 references from the Holy bible above. It gives sufficient proof that the Lord
Jesus Christ is the Great Creator and sustainer of all things. So, when &
how did the Lord Jesus Christ (God) create all things. Contrary to popular
beliefs existing in the world today, the Bible mentions the world and all that
is therein was created roughly some 6000 years ago. And it took The Lord Jesus
Christ (God) just 6 days to create all things. After creating all things, he
rested on the 7th day.
The 1st 3 chapters of the Book of Genesis - Holy Bible - King James Version
gives the below sequence of God’s creation.
1st Day - God Created the Day and the Night.
2nd Day - God Created the Heavens.
3rd Day - God created the earth with all its
greenery and the seas.
4th Day - God created the Sun, moon and
stars and the entire outer space.
5th Day - God created all living creatures
that fly in the air and of the seas.
6th Day- God created all living creatures on land. And towards the end, on the
sixth day, he created Man.
After God creates
everything, the Bible says that he found that everything was good. In other
words, he was pleased with his creation. One more thing to be noted here is God
created all the other things just by the power of his word. He spoke them to
existence. You can check the 1st chapter of the Book of Genesis - Holy Bible -
King James version. Only man he created out of his own hands. Hence, Man is a
unique creation of God. It is mentioned in Genesis - Ch 1: Verse 7:- And the
Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Also in Genesis - Ch 2:
Verse 21-22:- And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he
slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof.
And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
This is how the
first man and woman was created, by God’s own hand. And the breath that we
breathe today is the breath of life that is breathed by our God i.e. the Lord
Jesus Christ. How much we are indebted to the creator, because he has created
us with his own hands. Until here, everything goes well, because everything
that God created was good and not tainted with any sin at all. That’s when
Satan (the arch enemy of God and Man) enters the scene with a plan and causes
Man’s eternal fall.
Man falls into sin
and is driven out of God’s presence. How it all happened, we would be seeing in
the next post. The first Man and Woman were named Adam and Eve, and we (mankind
as a whole) being descendants of Adam and Eve are born in Sin, and our deeds
also are sinful, and hence God’s sword of Judgement is hanging above our head.
It is for this purpose, to restore Mankind, the Lord Jesus Christ our creator
had to come into this world 2000 years ago to die in our stead, so that by
believing in him we might be eternally saved. Imagine the creator “Lord
Jesus Christ” coming into this world to die for his creation.
Now, we will see
the eternal age of the “LORD JESUS CHRIST”. His dwelling is from eternity past
to eternity future. That’s why he is called the beginning and the end, the
Alpha & Omega, the eternal one, unbound by time and space. I will quote you
some references from the Holy Bible, which describes this in more detail.
(Revelation Ch 1: Verse 8)
¶ I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord,
which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
(Proverbs Ch 8: Verse 23)
I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth
was.
(Psalms Ch 145: Verse 13)
Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth
throughout all generations.
(Hebrews Ch 13: Verse 8)
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
(Psalms Ch 90: Verse 2)
Before the
mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the
world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
All the above
verses are clear proof that the Lord Jesus Christ is the original Creator &
sustainer of all things, the everlasting one, the Alpha and Omega, the
Beginning and the End, while he by himself is not a created being. Being sent
into this world by his Heavenly Father (GOD), with whom he coexisted in eternity
past, the Lord Jesus Christ represents the 2nd person in the triune Godhead. In
other words, he is the very eternal Son of God. The bible says, in John Ch 3:
Verse 16 - ¶ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son
(the Lord Jesus Christ), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. Let's believe in the Lord Jesus Christ before it is
too late, because we honestly are running out of time.
The sure signs of the
7 year Tribulation is all around us. The Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon
for the 2nd time, but this time with judgment. Only if we believe in the Lord
Jesus Christ, can we be saved from the horrific decade ahead of us and the
eternal lake of fire. There is no other way to eternal life/ Heaven other than
through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ alone has the power to
forgive all our sins. So, let us Believe in him and pass on to the newness of
life, to life everlasting..
In our next post,
we are going to see about the Archenemy of God and Man’s soul - “Satan”..This
would give us an idea of Satan and his evil intentions for mankind which is
exactly contradictory to the Love, compassion and good intentions of the savior
of mankind the “Lord Jesus Christ”..
