Created By Jesus Christ

"God, ... created all things by Jesus Christ:" - Ephesians 3:9

Essential it is to realize God, the almighty, created all things by Jesus Christ.

Paul wasn't the only one teaching this, the apostle John wrote:

"In the beginning was the Word ... through him all things were made ... though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him ... the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us" John 1 (NIV)

Just as the physical body is our method of interacting in this world and each other so Jesus is, and always has been, God's way of interaction with his Universe.

Paul clarifies that it was not just "Christ" but "Jesus Christ" who is one and the same.

Think about that the next time someone tries to tell you Jesus was just a prophet, teacher, or good man.

Pivot Point of History

"In the past God spoke ... through the prophets ...but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son" - Hebrews 1:1-2 NIV

Christ is the Pivot Point of history. All true prophets and seers of the past pointed to him and he is now the source of all God's revelation.

No more is there, nor has there been, need for another to come after Christ and speak for him, all such are impostors; he speaks for himself to and through his body with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is their purpose.
