HAVE YOU MET YOUR CREATOR?
Open your Bible to Psalm 19– our introduction to God. God has chosen to introduce himself to humanity in two extraordinary ways. Psalm 19:1-6 describes for us the general revelation through nature and the special revelation through the scriptures that God has revealed himself to us.
1The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech or words; Their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world. In them, He has placed a tent for the sun, 5 as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. 6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, and its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. NASB
The question we need to answer this morning is, "Have you personally met your Creator?" The scriptures begin with God introducing himself, and the book of Genesis opens with this question.
The 1st words the Bible opens are the Creator introducing Himself to us, His Creations. It says, “In the beginning if you have any doubts if you want to know where everything came from if you want to know your origin and if you know your origin you will know your purpose and if you know your origin and purpose you’ll find your destiny but if you want to know where you came from God says let me introduce myself. In the beginning God— actively oversaw and actually from nothing created all things into something and the scriptures say through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God so the things which appear were not made of things which do appear. They were made from nothing and God called them into existence. That’s how the scriptures open.
The Gospels and in the Gospels the prologue and if you ever look at a harmony of the Gospels the very first word of the Gospels come from the Gospel of John where Jesus Christ is introduced before he’s born because of course he has eternally existed and the Gospels begin with saying this: start and Jesus is introduced as the Creator announcing His coming to Earth “In the begining was the Word . . .all things were made by Him . . . and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”. John 1. And so the Creator from Genesis says I want to introduce my self to you the Gospel says I’ve actually come to earth. I’m here, I have come, I have walked I have lived among you and how I have left my body, the Church to tell you and point you to Your Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ.
The last words of the Scripture as Human History concludes when the Creator returns to Earth—remember He made it then he invaded it as a baby—lived, ministered and was murdered by mankind as mankind murdered their maker on the cross but he’s going to come back because he was buried and rose on the third day and ascended back and sat down because his work was done. But someday he’s going to stand up and he’s going to mount a horse and he’s going to ride back here on a white horse and he’s going to be wearing white robes that are dipped in blood and it’s going to say that he is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! And History will conclude as Christ the Creator comes to earth to take His place as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Listen to Revelation 10:6
