Jesus - Our Creator.
The Word- all things were made by Him.
God ended His work which He had made.
God, who created all things by Jesus Christ.
For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth.
By Him all things consist.
They drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them and that Rock was Christ.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Gen 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Gen 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Gen 2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 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 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
1Co 10:1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1Co 10:2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1Co 10:3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
There is NO doubt that scripture teaches us that God along with Jesus Christ created the world.
There is NO doubt that is was God with Jesus Christ who was with Moses as the ten moral laws, the ten commandments were given in stone.
There is NO doubt that our CREATOR, our REDEEMER, our FATHER GOD, the SON of the FATHER GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT GOD all had a part in Creation and in Redemption.
Rev_1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Luk_6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
We cannot doubt that the Creator-Jesus God - rested on that seventh day and sanctified it, and blessed it.
In the very beginning of Creation this amazing act was done. Before SIN entered into humanity, the seventh day was blessed and sanctified.
Before mankind's sinning the sabbath was created.
Before self-serving humans existed the sabbath was created.
God created the earth, God created human beings. God created the garden and placed mankind in the garden along with all the animals and all the fruits, vegetables and such. Man was to TEND the garden, man was to TEND the animals having dominion over them. Sinless tending, sinless dominion. There was joy in this life that we can only catch a mere glimpse of. A joy in the life where man was covered in the righteousness of God, clothed in the light of that righteousness, that purity, that sinlessness. Joy, peace, all the things we long for, all the things we were created for. And yet…
God wasn't dwelling with mankind.
God created man and the earth and all… but God did not choose to dwell on earth with mankind. Mankind were left to their own to live in this joy created for them. They lived in constant connection to God by their very God's righteousness clothed existence. He was ONE with them at all times, but He did not dwell with them in the Garden.
God VISITED them in the Garden. God's righteousness was with them always and they were surrounded by all that God had created, knowing they were creatures themselves having been created by God. Their Creator was a part of their lives always, but in that face to face communication, He wasn't always there walking beside them all the time. He came and visited with them.
Remember this--
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day...
IF God were at their side constantly and they were never a part from Him, they would never have HEARD the VOICE of the LORD GOD walking in the garden in the cool of the day.
God was visiting with them.
We know for a fact God rested on the seventh day when He had no need of resting, it wasn't as if He had worn Himself out. God made the Sabbath for man. God PURPOSEFULLY set aside ONE day out of seven, the SEVENTH day, for US to always and forever REMEMBER HIM. We keep the sabbath holy when we keep God in the sabbath, when He is our delight on the sabbath. God has made the sabbath holy- He blessed and sanctified the seventh day and what makes it holy is God, what sanctifies it is God. We can profane the day God has set aside as holy by not observing its holiness. We profane it when we do not delight in God, delight in His presence on this day. We are called to remember… meaning do not forget.
Seriously if we cannot delight in God for one 24 hour period out of 168 hours making up seven days, what in the world makes us believe we will delight in Him for eternity?
Are we expecting some magical transformation that makes us suddenly delight in God?
We choose to believe in Christ Jesus as our Savior, we need to choose to believe in Christ Jesus as our Creator as well.
Delighting in Him.
Luk 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luk 10:28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
JESUS' WORDS!
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
JESUS' WORDS!
Rev_12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The remnant of God's chosen- KEEP the COMMANDMENTS of GOD and have the TESTIMONY of JESUS CHRIST.
Rev_14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
The SAINTS- KEEP the COMMANDMENTS of GOD and the FAITH of JESUS.
Try all we want we will never negate the scriptural facts, the Sabbath is an integral part of God's ten moral commandments and NONE of those ten moral laws will EVER be acceptable to break, not then, not now, not ever. If you want to yank out the Sabbath and trample on it, you do so at your own eternal risk.
As it was in the beginning, may we keep the Sabbath a delight unto the LORD. May we fellowship with God as it is permitted to us- sinners now. In prayer, study, contemplation, song, worship. May our selfishness be overcome by HIS glorious love!
All in HIM!
