Who crucified the Creator of the universe?
The created beings, humanity, crucified the Creator of the universe. The people who nailed Christ to the cross and made Him a public spectacle were themselves created by Him. Scripture identifies Jesus Christ as the Creator, yet His own creatures put Him to death.
Les explains from Ephesians 3:9 that the God of Genesis 1:1 who created all things is designated the Creator, Jesus Christ. He recounts teaching a class in Iowa years ago and making the point that the people who nailed Christ to the cross and set Him up in public spectacle were the created beings of the Creator they were crucifying. That truth shook the class, because they had never had such a concept of who Jesus was. Les stresses never losing sight of it: the sovereign, total God of the universe died the death we should have died, rose from the dead, and extended eternal life, and you cannot separate that from Him.
