“For by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things were created through and for Him.
And He is before all things and in Him all things hold together.”  Colossians 1:16-17

We know many things about Jesus’ humanity, today let’s look at a few Scripture verses that tell something of our glorious and magnificent Lord’s divinity.  Our opening verse tells us He is the creator of all things.

Christ, the Creator!
“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”  John 1:3

“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.”   
1 Corinthians 8:6

The Apostle Paul speaking of the mystery of the gospel in Ephesians 3:9,
“And to make all people see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.”

“God who at various times and in different ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds.”  Hebrews 1:1-2

Another mark of our Lord’s divinity is His pre-existence:
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, 
 Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
 Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
 The One to be ruler in Israel,
 Whose going forth have been from of old,
 From everlasting.”  Micah 5:2 

John 8:58, Jesus speaking,
“Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.’”
In Jesus’ pray to His Father in John 17,
“And now, O My Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

Revelation 22:13 Christ tells us,
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

The portion of Scripture that so clearly marks the Deity of Jesus Christ is found in John and how I love the way the Gospel writer laid this out -- can anything be clearer?

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.  John 1:1-2
Verse 14,
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

We give all praise and honor to Christ Jesus our Lord as we join our voices and sing of His glory!

“We will glorify the King of kings
 We will glorify the Lamb
 We will glorify the Lord of lords
 Who is the Great I AM

 He is the Lord of heaven. Lord of earth
 He is Lord of all who live
 He is Lord above the universe
 All praise to Him we give.  
 
 Hallelujah to the King of kings
 Hallelujah to the Lamb
 Hallelujah to the Lord of lords
 Who is the Great I Am.”

Amen
