"Immediately following the oft-quoted text which says that Christ, the Word, is God, we read that "all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." John 1:3.
Comment cannot make this statement any clearer than it is, therefore we pass to the words of Heb. 1:1, "God...hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"
Still more emphatic than this are the words of the apostle Paul to the Colossians.
Speaking of Christ as the One through whom we have redemption, he describes Him as the One "who is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every creature;
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;
and by him all things consist." Col. 1:15-17
This wonderful text should be carefully studied and often contemplated."
