There is a great
distinction between Creator and Creation. And (as God) Jesus belongs on the
Creator side of that dividing line. With the Father and the Holy Spirit, he is
the uncreated Creator God who alone is worthy of worship. God alone has life in
himself and is the source of all being and life, sustaining all existence.
How does v13 describe our
era of human history? Jesus is enthroned in heaven until God the Father has put
all his enemies under his feet. Through the gospel, more and more of Jesus’
enemies are becoming his friends. And at last all his enemies will be subdued.
(Whenever we see the Bible
quoting the Bible, it is no bad thing to go back and think what the passage
meant in its original context and whether anything from that context apart from
the actual verses quoted contributes to the quoter’s meaning).
