Remembering Our Creator

Imagine giving birth to your children, raising them with love, watching over them, and making sure all is well with them—only for them one day to say that you are not their parent. Imagine knowing every detail about their lives: having pictures of them when they were small and innocent, remembering their first day of school, every milestone, every moment. Yet they still insist that you are not theirs.

Now imagine these same children going out of their way to prove you are not their parent. They create false evidence, even though you have already shown them clear and undeniable proof of who you are. Imagine them gathering in the world’s libraries, joining with others, and loudly declaring that you are not their parent. They give you all kinds of names, trying to redefine who you are and what place you have in their lives.

Think even further: imagine you are willing to give everything, even your own life, to show your love for them. But they reject your sacrifice. They treat your love as meaningless, even contributing to the pain that leads to your death. Some go as far as saying you do not exist at all, claiming that they simply came into being by chance. How can there be a child without a parent? How can there be creation without a Creator? And worst of all, imagine them shaping something with their own hands and saying, “This is the one who made us.” What a tragic and absurd thing!

The Bible says, “So God created humankind in His own image; in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” (Genesis 1:27)

We live in a world where God lovingly created human beings for fellowship with Him, yet many have rejected their Maker. They search for ways to deny Him and to explain life without acknowledging the One who gives breath to all.

People have tried to redefine Jesus as well. In Matthew 16:13–14, Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Even today this debate continues. What is astonishing is that Jesus Himself clearly said who He is—and He proved it through His works, His words, His authority, His death, and His resurrection. Yet many still choose to believe a lie.

Jesus said, “What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?” (John 6:62)

And again He said, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.” (John 8:23)

These statements, and many others, show us that Jesus is not merely a prophet or a teacher. He is God the Son, which is; he is God himself, and His testimony is true—not blasphemy.

There are many groups today who try to redefine Jesus. Some say He is only a prophet. Others say He is not equal with God. Some treat Him as a mere human being, denying His divinity and the claims He made about Himself. Even worse, some people create idols with their own hands and call them “god,” choosing to worship the created rather than the Creator. Others worship themselves, or deny God’s existence altogether, even while Jesus continues calling out to them through His cross.

Yet after all this rejection, Jesus is still full of mercy. He continues to call His people—those who have wandered away, those who have denied Him, those who have tried to erase Him—to come back. He offers forgiveness, redemption, and restored fellowship. His desire has always been that His people would live with Him forever, walking in love and relationship with their Creator.

May we not be like the children who forget their Father.

May we remember the One who made us, who loves us, and who calls us back to Himself.
