"IN the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen.1:1.
In this brief sentence we have the whole of the truth of the Gospel 
summed up.
In the first place, let us consider who it was that created the heaven and the earth. "God created." But Christ is God, the brightness of the Father's glory, and the express image of His person.
And again we read of Christ, that 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: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.

Creative power is the distinguishing mark of Divinity."
