Almighty God Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2). Long before our time, God devised a plan and created His Only Begotten Son, Jesus, who was the firstborn of every creature. Together, the Father and His Son created everything else in the universe, including mankind, as is evidenced in Genesis 1:26. After man had been in existence for some time, God sent Jesus to earth to bring a message of hope and a new covenant to mankind. When Jesus completed this job that his Father gave him, he was crucified, raised back to life by his Father, and returned to be with his Father again in heaven where he had been before coming to earth. To read more about the endearing relationship of Jesus and God His Father (the respect that Jesus has for his own Father Jehovah and the delight the Father had in His Son) which began even before the rest of the creation was made, see Proverbs 8:22-36.
Who is Jesus Christ?
Revelation 3:14 God's creation began with His son Jesus. Revelation 1:5 proves this "faithful witness" is His Son.
John 8:58 Christ existed before Abraham, which proves that he was around long before he was born into a fleshly body in Bethlehem.
Colossians 1:12-18 God created Jesus in His own image, as a separate being. By Jesus, God created everything and everyone, including the angels. Jesus is second in command to His Father in the hierarchy of all things. Together they provide a perfect witness to mankind.
John 6:62, 38 Jesus clearly states that he was going to return where he had come from before. He testifies that His Father sent him for a purpose.
John 17:1, 4-5, 20-21, 24 Jesus loves his Father, and obeyed Him by fulfilling His Father's purpose. Jesus also loves the disciples that His Father has given him, and prays for them, that we believe that the Father sent Jesus the Son to earth. Their relationship existed long before mankind was created.
