Who made the universe and all it contains? Why does
the Scripture seem incomplete on many issues like the
creation? What is the reward for believing the correct
things in life?
John tells us frankly and plainly that God created it
all through His architect Jesus: "Through Him (Jesus)
God made all things; not one thing in all creation was
made without Him" (John 1:3). Believers take God at
His word that He made it all. No scientific law or any
other rule is contradicted by that fact.
Matthew tells us that Jesus explained difficult topics
to the people through illustrations and stories to help
them understand His kingdom: He did this to make
come true what the prophet had said, "I will use the
parables when I speak to them; I will tell them things
unknown since the creation of the world" (Mat 13:35).
Many unlearned people, as well as the educated have
understood the message of the parables quite well .
Jesus clearly and plainly tells us that those that
believed Him, those that became new creatures in
Him, those that allowed Him to prepare them for
an eternal future: "The King will say to the people
on His right, Come, you that are blessed by My
Father! Come and possess the kingdom which has
been prepared for you ever since the creation of
the world" (Mat 25:34). There were those that did
not believe Noah when he preached--until it started
to rain and then the people saw the truth, But it was
too late, the door had been shut.
Let us remember who is the Creator of the universe. God's
name is Jehová Hoseem. He is the God who is the Creator
of our faith and reason. He is the Creator of our growth
and progress in Him. He is the Creator of the new creature
spiritually. Trust Him and Praise Him Today for all the
"new" that has come and the "old" that has passed away.
