The Evidence of the Creator
Jesus Is the Creator
“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth” (Psalm 33:5).
The Creator put on flesh, and His creation refused to recognize Him for what He was. “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:10-11).
His own people rejected Him and put Him to death. “And you killed the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead” (Acts 3:14, ESV).
As the Author of Life, he predicted about His physical body, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19, 21).
As the Author of life, Jesus Christ continues to hold together the universe by the very power of His Being, “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. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence” (Colossians 1:16-18). Jesus has the pre-eminence because He is the Creator of all times.
As the Author of Life, Jesus Himself rose from the grave as a “quickening spirit” or a “life-giving Spirit”, “The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit, “(1 Corinthians 15:45).
For this One is our Creator who has promised to create eternal life within the very beings of those who trust Him and obey Him, “Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator” (1 Peter 4:19).
