CHRIST THE MAKER

Richard Melick Jr., Bible professor and author wrote:

“The Bible establishes that Jesus Christ is God: “For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body” (Colossians 2:9, NLT; see also Hebrews 1:3). Because Jesus is God, He is also Creator of the universe (Hebrews 1:2). Teaching on the preeminence or supremacy of Christ, the apostle wrote, “All things that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible” is Paul’s expressive way of saying Jesus made absolutely everything. There is nothing that Jesus did not create. The apostle John put it like this: “All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created” (John 1:3, CSB). God the Father is the architect of creation. He determined to bring all things into existence. But Jesus, His Son, is the agent who brought God’s plans into living, breathing reality. “Through his creative imagination and power, the created order exists” (Melick, R., Philippians, Colossians, Philemon, Vol. 32, 1991, Broadman & Holman Pub.).

Jesus is Lord.

“I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.” Jesus
