Colossians 1:16-17
For by him all things were created: things in
heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or
authorities; all things were created by him and
for him. He is before all things, and in him all
things hold together.

Christ the Creator
We don't often think of Christ before He is
introduced to the world as a little baby.
However, He is God and has been around
eternally. Jesus was there at creation and
had an active part in the process.
We often struggle to understand the trinity with
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit all being one God but separate beings.
This isn't something that we will fully be able
to grasp here on earth.
The three persons of the trinity have separate
functions. Jesus has a very different
mission than that of the Father and the Holy
Spirit. But there are other times, like
during creation, that we see all three present
and doing the same thing together.
Even if our understanding is limited, we should
remember that Jesus is God. Even as we
celebrate Christ's humanity at Christmas, we
should remember this. It puts things in
even greater perspective for us. The baby
in a manger is not just the savior of the world,
it is He who took part in the creation of the
world that He came to save! |
