I find it sad that our Creator came into the world and no one recognized him.

John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Two thousand years ago the religious establishment of the day didn’t recognize him, the Jews, and today the religious establishment still doesn’t recognize him, Christians.

Jesus is the one that made the world.

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Col. 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Heb. 1:10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:

Is. 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

The Lord our redeemer. Just who is the Lord our redeemer? Jesus!

Moses asked God what his name was when God sent him to Egypt.

Ex. 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Jesus called himself I AM in John 8:58.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

So, apparently, if we’re going to believe the bible, it was Jesus that gave the Ten Commandments.

It was Jesus that made all things, including Adam in the garden.

Gen. 1:27 So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

If you don’t believe it then you don’t believe the bible.

Remember Col. 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

There’s one more thing that was made that man doesn’t want to keep.

Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

Jesus said the Sabbath was “made”. Now, who does the bible say made all things?

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Jesus made the Sabbath for mankind.

Our creator, our maker, came into the world and we don’t even know him as such.

We don’t even keep the day he made for us. Why? Because we think that we are theologically so smart.

If our theology doesn’t fit the bible, is it the bible that we should question, or is it our theology?
