Do we know who the architect of the universe is? Did the
architect learn much when he visited earth for 33 years?
From the fact that He learned much, what was accomplished
that no one else could do?
The writer to the Hebrews tells us Jesus the Son existed
before the world was created. Jesus was the architect of
creation of all that we know of the worlds that exist--
"In these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He
appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made
the world" (Heb 1:2). We can be thankful that the creator
of the worlds spoke to us concerning salvation; a method
to keep us from suffering eternal death and punishment.
The Writer to the Hebrews explained that although He was
the Creator of the universe, He obeyed His Father without
complaint to learn the defeat of the enemy of man and life-
"Although He was a Son, He learned the obedience from the
things which He suffered" (Heb 5:8). He suffered much so
that He could provide a way to God in holiness for men.
The example teaches us that God will support us when the
weight of suffering is difficult. Afflictions teach us to
submit to Him for strength. He encourages us to obey Him
for we know that He will comfort us as we learn obedience.
The Writer to the Hebrews continued to explain that
when Christ came to the world, or His ministry became
full of His purpose, He was ready to obey completely
and willingly in His body. His life had been prepared
without blemish by obedience to His Father's will--
"Sacrifice and offering You have not desired, But A
BODY You have prepared for Me" (Heb 10:5). Atonement
for sins could only be made by One capable of making
a consent to give His life willingly. His sacrifice of
holiness and obedience was acceptable. His death for
our sins completed the payment for the sin debt of men.
Let us remember Who has the holier and righteous way.
God's Name is Jehová Elohim. He is the God who puts
our feet on a Highway of Holiness that allows us to
enter at the narrow gate of eternal life, not the wide
Broadway that leads to destruction. Lift your hands,
heart to Him for His Creation and provision of the
righteous way. You can Trust Him and Praise Him
Today for a holy way and better way!
