Jesus' Role in Creation

As I continue to think about the importance of Jesus being the way to Heaven, I am taken, once again, back to the thoughts of Creation. In Genesis 1, God said, "“Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness." That, being in the plural, shows one of the earliest ideas of God as Trinity. Since Jesus was the second person of the Trinity, the Father could have been speaking to the Son here. (The Spirit was already mentioned very early in the chapter.)

That is why there really is no contradiction when John 1 speaks of Jesus being involved in the act of Creation: "1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made." (NKJV)

Jesus was unique in Creation, and I believe that eventually plays a part in His providing salvation.

Who would know the workings of something or the inside details 0r maybe the very heart of something that is created, your right the cerator. Jesus knew way to much about life and life issues not to have a part in the creation of it. Think about what he knows about us and our character, our motivations, our desires, our hopes and dreams, you just can't teach that stuff. So yes in my opinion and my beleif is that Jesus was very much a part of creation. God Bless
