Jesus Christ is the central figure in all that has happened or will happen on the earth. He was instrumental in the creation of all things, everything being made through Him and for Him. He also is the One who continues to hold all things together. How ironic that when He was on the earth very few people recognized Jesus as the One who had created them. Even His close disciples had difficulty in knowing who He was. We would do well to remember that it was Jesus the Word of God who...
...shaped the mount upon which Jerusalem sat.
...molded the hills from which Rome ruled.
...conceived the blood which sealed the covenant at Sinai.
...entered His own creation to rescue from their sins the people He had made.
...healed the leprosy on the body He formed.
...spoke words of truth to minds He made to understand.
...stilled the tempestuous sea whose limits He had set.
...fed the thousands with bread and fish of His own making.
...made in His image the wretch that sold Him for some coins.
...breathed the lives of those who envied His.
...set Pilate upon the seat of judgment.
...established the priesthood which condemned Him.
...gave the tongues which cried “Crucify!”
...strengthened the arms that swung the biting scourge.
...nurtured the thorns from which they wove the crown.
...grew the tree from which the cross was hewn.
...made the ore from which the nails were fired.
...designed the hands which hammered the nails.
...made sure the brow of Golgotha would hold three crosses.
...died as the Lamb of God in a body prepared for Him.
...is coming back to take His people to a glorious place which He is preparing for them!
