Romans 1:20 - Creation Testifies About It's Creator

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." ( Romans 1:20 )

Creation itself testifies about it's Creator. Psalm 19 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." ( Psalm 19:1 ) It is impossible to live and breath in this world without recognizing God. Just observing nature in itself is proof to that.

Psalm 19 goes on to say, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard." ( Psalm 19:1-3 ) Creations voice goes out and translates into every known tongue. What it is declaring is the glory and majesty of God. By observing how specific and exact the interworking of all of creation, one can only come to the conclusion that there is a God.

God's glory is displayed by the things around us. God's invisible qualities, eternal power and divine nature are shown to us in how we are made, the world in which we live and the universe surrounding us. God has made himself clearly known to us. All of humankind is without an excuse before Him, because who He is has been revealed in creation.

Many people will reject this truth and search into human wisdom to make sense of this life. Whether through books and knowledge or vain pursuit of personal understanding. Many will ignore the tale tell signs of God, because of a hard heart. Today it is my prayer that you will take a moment to observe how unique and beautiful the fingerprint of God is on our lives. I pray that you take a moment to thank Him and praise Him for how wonderful He has made everything for us and how awesome it is that we can know about Him. And thank Him for how He revealed himself to us by creation.

    Jesus himself said in Luke, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” (Luke 24:44) proving that Psalms was a prophetic book about Christ. David (Just as all the prophets) wrote under divine inspiration by the Holy Spirit and Psalm 22 is perhaps the most compelling chapter about Jesus in the entire book. Perhaps David didn't understand completely what he was writing at the time, which is why it is prophetic, but as we read this today there is no doubt that this was a prophesy about Jesus. Just look at all of the references in this chapter alone, then go to Matthew 26 & 27 and you will see that it happened exactly has David wrote in Psalm 22.

    Psalm 22 - My God, My God why have you forsaken me? (Jesus said this on the cross)
    Psalm 22:6-8 - They ridiculed Him, "let him come down off the cross" etc.
    Psalm 22:9 - bulls surround me - (represent the Jewish leaders at the time)
    Psalm 22:14 - I am poured out (His side was pierced and blood and water flowed out)
    Psalm 22:13 - his heart would melt like wax within him - water coming out of side
    Psalm 22:15 - I thirst (They gave Him wine vinegar to drink)
    Psalm 22:16 - Dogs Surround me (this was reference to the Romans soldiers)
    Psalm 22:16 - they pierced my hands and feet (written long before the practice of crucifixion was even invented or practiced)
    Psalm 22:18 - divided garments and cast lots (1 piece of clothing they didn't want to tear it so they cast lots)

    This chapter has so many Messianic Prophecies about Jesus and what is amazing is that it wasn't only Jesus who fulfilled them. Many were fulfilled by others during this time (Jewish leaders, Roman soldiers etc). This is very imporant to know because it solifies the fact that Jesus is the Messiah, Look at one of the first thing He did after He rose again, On the road to Emmaus he opened up the disciples understanding by going back to Moses and the Prophets and explaining all of these things to them (Luke 24:26-27). So it is necessary for us to understand this as well so we know without a doubt that Jesus is who He said He is.

    I hope this answers your questions and gives you some references to look up and study. I am actually in the process of putting together an whole study on all of these references, I hope to post it to my blog very soon.

    Thanks, Juli

    How do we know that Psalm 22 is a prophecy about Jesus' crucifixion? I appreciate the fact that the David describes elements of crucifixion even though crucifixion had not yet been invented, if you will. Perhaps it was some type of hyperbole or symbolic description of what he was feeling at the time. Besides, why would David have been thinking about Christ's crucifixion?
