The Matchless Christ
“That which was from the beginning, which we have
heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which
we have looked at and our hands have touched we
proclaim concerning the Word of life.” I John 1:1.
REFLECTION: If we push back time as far as we can,
we would reach the beginning of creation. This is
when time began. Creation has it origin not in an
impersonal ‘Big Bang’ but in the God who is eternal,
all-wise and all- powerful who said in the beginning,
‘Let there be’ and there was. It is at His command that
something came out of nothing.
The result, the grand creation that now is. God is
the Creator of all things, be they visible or invisible,
tangible or intangible, animate or inanimate. All things
were created by Him and for His pleasure. Should we
examine the history of Christ it would take us beyond
the incarnation, beyond the creation of man, beyond
the creation of the universe for He is the author of
what is, for “without him was not anything made that
hath been made” John 1:3b (A.S.V.). Jesus, the Son of
God, has no beginning.
He is the eternal great ‘I AM’. Let it be clearly stated
that He is not a creature or a product of the universe.
He is God, blessed is He forever. Time and space
boggle our finite minds, concerning these verities.
If we try and comprehend the incomprehensible it
would simply blow our minds. Job said, “Therefore
have I uttered that which I understood not, things too
wonderful for me, which I knew not” Job 42:3b (A.S.V.).
This person Jesus, entered, time and was the seed of
a woman. He was truly flesh of our flesh. He was no
phantom, or a spiritual illusion, or a fabrication but
indeed, He is God, who truly partook of our humanity.
Hallelujah!
PRAYER: Lord, help me to understand all I can,
concerning you. Amen
WISDOM: Time is but a pause in God’s eternity.
