Christ the Creator and Intercessor

"By whom also he made the worlds." "God . . . created all things by Jesus Christ." Eph. 3:9. "Without him was not anything made that was made." And this mighty One, who was before all worlds, who made all worlds, and who upholds all worlds by the word of his power, "was made flesh, and dwelt among" men. He who was higher than all angels, who made all angels, was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death; and having by himself purged our sins, sits at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister of the sanctuary, and the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. He has entered into the presence of God for us; and, having obtained eternal redemption for us, he makes intercession for us.
