Jesus – Creator/Sustainer

Colossians 1:15-17 (NET)15 He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God,

the firstborn over all creation,16 for all things in

heaven and on earth were created by him – all

things, whether visible or invisible, whether

thrones or dominions, whether principalities or

powers – all things were created through him

and for him. 17 He himself is before all things and

all things are held together in him.

and apart from him not one thing was

created that has been created. 4 In him

was life, and the life was the light of

mankind.

through whom he created the world.

John 1:10-12 (NET)10 He was in the world, and the world was

created by him, but the world did not

recognize him. 11 He came to what was his

own, but his own people did not receive

him. 12 But to all who have received him –

those who believe in his name – he has

given the right to become God’s children

John 3:16 (NET)16 For this is the way God loved the world:

He gave his one and only Son, so that

everyone who believes in him will not

perish but have eternal life.
