<p>In the Book of Revelation Jesus is called the beginning of the creation of God.</p>
|
|
<blockquote><p>To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: the amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God, says this (<a id="nbi217-si1" onClick="return mV('Rev',3,14);">Rev 3:14</a>).</p></blockquote>

|
<p>This verse has been used to say that Jesus was a created being.</p>
|

|
|
<p><b>Jesus Is the Origin of God's Creation</b></p>
|
|
<p>The word translated "beginning" can also have the meaning of "origin." This idea is that the creation of all things originated with Jesus. He is the source of creation.</p>
|

|
<p><b>Summary</b></p>
|
|
<p>Jesus is called the beginning of God's creation. This does not mean that he is a created being. It refers to the fact that he is the origin of God's creation—he is the one who originated the creation process.</p>
