Where does Jesus Christ really come on the scene in the Bible?
Scripture presents Christ as eternal, not beginning at Bethlehem. He was from eternity past to eternity future. He truly comes on the scene in Genesis chapter 1, in creation, because God the Son called everything into being and was manifested throughout the Old Testament, then became flesh visibly in the New Testament.
Les explains that many people wrongly think Christ came on the scene at Bethlehem when He was born of Mary, but nothing could be further from the truth. Christ is eternal, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, from eternity past to eternity future. Les teaches that Christ really comes on the scene in Genesis chapter 1 in creation, because God the Son called everything into being. He was manifested all the way up through the Old Testament. Then in the New Testament, the invisible person of the Godhead became flesh, visible and tangible, yet He has always been.
