‘He (the Lord Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him (Jesus Christ) 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. And He is before all things, and in Him (Jesus Christ) all things consist (are held together).’
Colossians 1:15-17
The Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, spoke the words that created everything. It is God the Son, that sustains all life and holds the universe together. It was God the Son that stepped out of the triune Godhead (Colossians 2:9) and took on flesh to go the way of the cross. He was nailed to a cross made from trees He created and died on a hill He formed with His words. Even the Roman soldiers that nailed the spikes into His body were His creation, He knew their names before they were even born.
Jesus Christ was God in the Flesh
God the Son, Jesus Christ became the visible manifestation of the invisible triune God to fulfill the will of the Father. Which was for God the Son to take on flesh, shed His blood, die for our sins, be buried, and rise from the dead three days later (the gospel). Now Hebrews 1:1-3 sums it up.
‘God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He (the Lord Jesus) made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, ‘
Hebrews 1:1-3
Glory to God for His Son and to the Holy Spirit that Comforts us.
