Buzzword #1: Creator -- 030911

Tonight we started a series called Buzzword in which we will look at three words that describe Jesus for us. The first word is Creator. We read from Colossians 1:15-22 where we learn that Jesus is the creator of all things in heaven and on earth as well as all visibile and invisible things. We know that Jesus is our creator, that is one that creates by bringing something new or original into existence, that is the universe as well as us individually. So what does it mean that Jesus is our creator? It means that we belong to God and are responsible to him. It means that God is greater than us and we should worhsip him. It means that we are here for a reason and aren't an accident. It means we should obey God because he knows why he put us here. In Genesis 1:27 we also learn we were created in God's image (not physical but his character). Because of this we know that all humans (regardless of age, ethnicity, financiial status, etc...) deserve love and respect. We also are created in his image, thus we should reflect him into the world around us.
