Christ Jesus Before Creation
Before the worlds began, Christ Jesus was; He is God the Son. As one reads the Holy Bible, they come to understand that God has revealed to mankind that there is only one true and eternal God, however, within the Godhead there are three distinct persons (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit). The Three are of the same spiritual substance (essence), co-eternal, co-equal, one in purpose yet distinct in their personhood. God the Father is not God the Son (Jesus) nor God the Holy Spirit and vice versa, however, the Three make up the one true and eternal God.
Work Of Christ Jesus In Creation
The Bible tells us that it was God the Son (Jesus) who was the architect of the universe. When speaking of Christ Jesus' part in creation, the Holy Bible says:
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him."
(Colossians 1:16 NKJV)

When Christ Jesus Became A Man
(The Incarnation)
A little over 2000 years ago Christ Jesus left heaven and became a man. He was born to a lowly virgin named Mary in the town of Bethlehem in Judea and for approximately 33 years He lived upon the earth. Forty days after His resurrection from the grave (following His death on the cross of Calvary as the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world), Christ Jesus ascended back to heaven from which He came. Presently He sits on His throne in heaven at the right hand of God the Father and at a future date in time, He will return to setup His kingdom here upon the earth.
