Jesus the Creator

In case you thought Jesus first appeared in the manger, let me clear this up for you. Jesus, part of The Trinity I know as God, was there in the beginning of what we know as time, and will be there in what we will know to be the end of time. He is indeed The Alpha and The Omega. He is Elohim, God our Creator.

In Genesis 1:1 it says, "In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth." The Hebrew word used here for God is Elohim. Elohim, when properly translated, is plural in number but singular in meaning. This points to One God with multiple identities. These identities are The Father, The Son (Jesus), and The Holy Spirit.

Still not convinced?  Well, check out these details:

• In Genesis 1:26 God said, "Let US make human beings in OUR image, to be like US." This very clearly points to a plural form of One God.
• Isaiah 7:14, written hundreds of years prior to the birth of Jesus, states that a virgin will give birth to a son and He will be called, Immanuel which is translated "God with Us."
• Matthew 1:23 also repeats that Jesus was to be called, Immanuel.
• John 1 indicates that in the beginning was The Word and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and lived among us. (Jesus) And this is based on eye witness accounts.
• In John 14:11 Jesus tells us that His Father is in Him and He is in His Father.
• Jesus claimed to be God, which was very offensive to the religious leaders at the time. He was speaking truth!
• Colossians 1: 15 - 17 tells us that Jesus is the visible representation of an invisible God.

Still struggling with getting this? You might always struggle, but that is where FAITH kicks in. Have Faith in Him.  Also, know it states in 1 Corinthians 13 that now we know in part, but when we get to Heaven we will know in full.  The more I study God's Word, it makes more sense to me. But, I know I won't truly understand until I am in Glory.

Jesus is God.  Jesus is Elohim. Elohim is The Creator. God created everything through the power of His Word! That is power when your words can create! There is one exception to this. He spoke most everything in existence, except humans. He crafted us with His hands.  I like to think He got his fingerprints on us. And, He breathed His breath into us. And then He did the truly mind blowing thing.....He gave us words. He used words to make creation, and then He gave humans words.  In Proverbs we learn that our words have the power of life and death. I believe it.  I can use my words to build someone up, or tear them down.

Have you thought about Jesus' awesome power? Have you thought about how amazing His creation is? Sit outside tonight and look up at the stars. He put them in place along with the moon. Watch the sun rise or set this week. This event alone declares God's power and authority. When we look at science and creation it is so easy to see the miracles of the world we live in. God, Elohim, is powerful!

Jesus - I am truly in awe of Your awesome power. You are Elohim, The Creator. Thank You for creating me. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for leaving the perfection in Heaven to come to this broken world to save me. I forever put my trust in You! - Amen.

For a deeper study read Isaiah 40: 21 - 31.  Make notes of what this teaches you about God's power. Ask God to show His might power in your life.
