Twelve Days of Christmas at Ararat - Day 3: All of the Creation came to be through the Word (Jesus).

”All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.“

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You’ve probably heard the story: Jesus was on the boat with the disciples; and He was sleeping. Suddenly, a great storm arose; and the disciples feared for their lives. They frantically awakened Jesus. He then rebuked the wind and sea like a parent rebukes a child. The disciples amazement led them to ask a very important question:

”So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”“

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The answer to the disciples’ question is simple: The wind and sea—indeed, all creation—came to be through Him. Jesus was rebuking like a parent because He was the wind’s and sea’s Creator!

The writer of Hebrews says it this way:

”God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time 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 ‭NKJV‬‬

Friend, our Savior and Lord is the force through Whom ALL created things were made.

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
