Creation
Creation
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
The visible and invisible worlds are so much bigger than you realize. The main purpose of this advent study is to introduce you to the larger cast of beings in the Bible, to show that Jesus is a major character in the Old Testament, and to trace His story as the Redeemer. On this first day of our advent study we are going to look at several passages from the Bible that do just that, through the story of creation. Pay attention when John calls Jesus the Word.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

The first verse of the Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth. John gives us more details, that the second person of the trinity, Jesus (or the Word), worked with the Father to create everything! Job then tells us that while God was creating the world through Jesus, the “morning stars sang together.” How can stars sing? They can when “morning stars” is language for angels or spiritual beings. It must have been glorious to hear angels singing together and shouting for joy was Jesus created the heavens and the earth!
