1 | Who is God Talking to in verse 26? | Genesis | Tess | 140896 | ||
In this passage God is speaking to his son Jesus. The person who became known as Jesus Christ did not begin life here on earth. He himself spoke of his prehuman heavenly life. (Joh 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58) John 1:1, 2 gives the heavenly name of the one who became Jesus, saying: “In the beginning the Word [Gr., Lo´gos] was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god [“was divine,” AT; Mo; or “of divine being,” Böhmer; Stage (both German)]. This one was in the beginning with God.” Since God is eternal and had no beginning (Ps 90:2; Re 15:3), the Word’s being with God from “the beginning” must here refer to the beginning of God's creative works. This is confirmed by other texts identifying Jesus as “the firstborn of all creation,” “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Col 1:15; Re 1:1; 3:14) Thus the Scriptures identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation, his firstborn Son. |

Hi, Tess! "identify the Word (Jesus in his prehuman existence) as God’s first creation," It is an interesting conclusion... yet if He is the first of creation is He not the end of creation since He Himself attests taht He is the First and the Last? (Revelation 1:17-18) ...and if He is the First and the Last, should creation not have ended then and there! Please, do not limit God to a notion that Christ, the God-with-us (Matthew 1:23; Is 7:14; 9:6;), is a creature as you and I... to which creature has God delegated His Authority and Divinity (Luke 5:20-21; John 5:17-18; 10:30-33; Romans 9:1-5; 1 Corinthians 2:7-8; Galatians 1:11-12; Phelippians 2:5-11; Titus 2:11-15; Hebrews 1:3-12; 2 Peter 1:1-2; Revelation 19:11-16; 21:3-7)? Please, be as observant as Thomas--even if only after the fact-- and say to Jesus: "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28) May Christ, who is over all things, send the Holy Spirit to enlighten your mind, heart and spirit! God Bless! Angel |
