“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.
