The incarnation is the most important event in history. But how do we understand its relationship to creation? Well, creation is another great event in history. In creation God created the entire universe out of nothing. All He did was speak it into existence. Yet in John 1:1-5 we read that Jesus is the Word and that Word was with God and He and God are one. Nothing was made without Him. In Genesis we read that God says come and let us go down and make man in our own image. This verse says “our” and “us” instead of” me “and “my”. God was talking to the other triune heads. Jesus was part of the creation just as God was. They are all one.
So Jesus created the world and it was all very good. Then man rebelled and broke relationship with Him. But Jesus loved us and came down and incarnated into a human child to live life as a poor carpenter born in a manger. Not as nice as His heavenly throne. He lived in our sinful environment without sinning and got mocked, betrayed, cursed and killed, even when He was on the cross God the Father turned away from Him. Then Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. He saved us, who are evil, rebellious, and a prideful people. It is good to know that the one, who created us, saved us. One day He will return and bring His children together and give them a glorified body and renew the earth. Jesus, the creator and the redeemer will be glorified forever amen.
