Daily Bread – August 15, 2024 (The Fifth Day – Genesis 1:20-23) John 1:3 – All things came into being by Him, and without Him not even one thing came into being unless He made it. The exact way in which all things came into being by him is revealed in Hebrew 11:3, “By faith we understand that the ages were prepared by the Word of God, so that the visible was made from what is invisible.”. The first chapter of John declares Jesus to be the Creator of all things three times (John 1:3,10,11). All things were created in Him as well as by Him, “For in Him were all things created… all things were created by Him and in Him” (Colossians 1:16). It may equally be said that the Father created all things through the Word (1 Corinthians 8:6, 15:24, 27-28; Ephesians 1:10; John 13:3). The Greek verb ‘egeneto’ occurs three times in this verse. This verb is used consistently by the Septuagint to describe “creation” in Genesis chapter 1. Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
