Show Notes

Luke 24:27 describes Jesus giving a Bible study to two disciples after his resurrection, showing them how he was the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the central figure in God's plan of salvation. This highlights the idea that the story of the Bible is the story of Jesus, and that every book of Scripture points to Him and His mission.

 

Gerard Manley Hopkins’ poem “In the Beginning” links the act of creation to the person of Jesus, emphasizing his central role in the ongoing work of creation and redemption. New Testament passages such as John 1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17, and Hebrews 1:1-2 affirm Jesus' role in creation, establishing that he was present with God from the beginning, and that all things were created through him and for him.

 

The book of Genesis also reveals Jesus as Creator, with God saying “Let us make mankind in our image” and breathing new life into humanity through his Son. This emphasizes the triune nature of God and Jesus' ability to bring new life to humanity. Overall, the Bible teaches that Jesus played a vital role in the creation of the universe and is the source of life-giving spirit that animates and sustains humanity.

 

Additional scriptures referenced include Genesis 1:2, 26; Zechariah 12:10; Hebrews 1:3; Deuteronomy 6:4; and Genesis 2:7.
