Introduction: Fall is a beautiful time of the year. God’s handiwork can be witnessed all around us. Colors of red, yellow, orange, and gold decorate the woods. Cool, crisp temperatures along with the breathtaking sunrise and sunset remind us of an intelligent Designer, namely Jesus Christ.

1. Jesus is the Creator! 

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.” (Col 1:16)

Emphasizing the deity of Christ, Paul writes that Jesus who is co-equal with the Father created the heavens and the earth. Moses wrote. “1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” (Gen 1:1) Time, space, and matter were instantaneously spoken into existence. Debunking the BIG BANG Theory, God spoke and it was!

The writer of the book of Hebrews explains the following about creation:

“3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” (Heb 11:3)

God took nothing and made something out of nothing in 6 literal 24 hour days. (Gen 1:1)

The Hebrew word for “created” is : בָּרָא (baw-raw’), which means to shape, create.

Contrary to the evolutionist, it did not take God billions of years to create the heavens and the earth, nor did He use radiation or mutation to accomplish the task. Subsequently, man did not come from apes! It is true, however, that some men act like apes!!

By the way, some atheists and agnostics reject the (biblical) creation model because they claim it is religious. Well, if the truth be known, evolution leads to humanism, which is a religion in itself. Bottom line: Man wants to be his own god.

“20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:” (Rom 1:20)

“5Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” (Rom 1:25)

However, according to Luke’s account in the book of Acts, all men will answer to Jesus Christ. 

“4God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” (Acts 17: 24-26)

“31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.” (Acts 17:31)

Every man will be judged by Jesus who was raised from the dead and ascended on high.

2. Jesus is the Creator and Sustainer!

“17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.” (Col 1:17)

The reason scientists are baffled today with unexplainable evidences is because God’s creative laws are no longer present. Rather, His preservation laws are holding creation together. The complexity of the human body along with the magnitude of the universe including the sun, moon and stars is beyond man’s limited comprehension. Especially, how Jesus is holding it all together!

3. David declares the GLORY of God’s CREATION!

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.” (Psa 19:1,2)

From the sunrise to the sunset, and throughout the night until day break, the glory of our great God is on display for all to see.

4. Peter writes about God’s new Creation!

“10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up…Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” (2Pet 3:10-14)

Our Divine Architect, Jesus Christ has plans on the drawing board for a New CREATION in the future! Can’t hardly wait.

Conclusion: While we do not worship God’s creation, we do appreciate and stand in awe of who He is and what He has done. Above His creation is His great Salvation in and through the sacrificial death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Plus, do not forget, Jesus will come again some day. But until then, let’s worship and praise our Lord because of His creation and great salvation.
