Christ as Creator

The opening verse of Gods Word states that "God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen 1.1). 

In the New Testament, this creative act is linked with the Son of God. "All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made" (John 1.3).  We take a telescope and view the immensity of creation - "All things were made by Him". We take a microscope and view the intricacy of creation - "without Him was not even one thing made, that was made". 

The apostle Paul agrees. "For [in] Him were all things created ... all things were created [through] Him and for Him" (Col 1.16). Here the Son of God is viewed as the Architect ("in Him"), as the Agent ("through Him"), and as the Aim ("for Him") of creation. 

So, the Creator is the Christ, the Son of God. May we bow and worship Him.
