宇宙的造物主

今天这节经文里的宣告看起来就像后来加上去的，但事实远不是这样。在约翰福音1:3，哥林多前书8:6，和歌罗西书1:16也有同样的说法。希伯来书说神藉着耶稣“创造诸世界”，也就是说耶稣高于一切，因为他创造了一切。

所有旧约的先知都指向了基督。当祂以一个真实的人住在我们中间时，祂就应验了经上所写的一切。

希伯来书的作者知道，有些人会越过基督去看旧约和先知。所以作者在这里首先用几句有力的话描述了基督的伟大。祂是神的儿子，承受万有的那一位。祂也是创造宇宙和万有的那一位。

这对我们又意味着什么呢？为什么基督创造万有很重要呢？耶稣不仅是神的儿子，祂还和父一起创造了世界。祂是真神。知道耶稣创造了万有，意味着我们可以在万事上信靠祂。我们可以信靠祂会看顾祂的造物。所以，当生活中的事看似失控时，我们仍可以信靠主耶稣掌管万有的主权。

宇宙的创造主，帮助我凡事都信靠你。我知道你是掌管一切的主，包括我生命中的一切。阿们。

1神既在古时藉着众先知多次多方地晓谕列祖，
2就在这末世藉着他儿子晓谕我们；又早已立他为承受万有的，也曾藉着他创造诸世界。
3他是神荣耀所发的光辉，是神本体的真像，常用他权能的命令托住万有。他洗净了人的罪，就坐在高天至大者的右边。
4他所承受的名既比天使的名更尊贵，就远超过天使。

Maker Of The Universe

". . . and through whom also he made the universe." - Hebrews 1:2

This statement in our text for today seems almost tacked on as an afterthought. But it is so much more than that.

This same idea is mentioned in John 1:3, 1 Corinthians 8:6, and Colossians 1:16. When Hebrews says that through Jesus God “made the universe,” it is saying that Jesus is over and above all things because he created it all.

All of the Old Testament prophets pointed to Christ. When he came to live among us as a real human being, he was fulfilling all that was written about him.

The writer of Hebrews knew that some people were looking past Christ to the prophets and the Old Testament. So here the writer is starting off by describing the greatness of Christ in a few powerful statements about him. He is God’s Son, the one who will inherit everything. He is also the maker of the universe, the maker of everything.

So what does this mean for us? Why is it important that Christ is the maker of all things? Not only is Jesus God’s Son, but he also made the earth with the Father. He is truly God. Knowing that Jesus is the maker of all things means that we can trust in him for all things. We can depend on him as the one who cares for his creation. So when things in life seem to be out of control, we can trust in the sovereign power of Jesus as Lord over everything.

Prayer

Maker of the universe, help me to trust in you for all things. I know you are Lord over everything, including everything in my life. Amen.
