Except...and this we should well know, that the Lord Himself manifest Himself to Abraham and Sarah, and did eat and drink before He became flesh.
Jesus is the begotten Son of God and He was the Word in the beginning, He was the Word who was with God in the beginning, He was the Word that was made flesh.
Matthew Henry Commentary
1:1-5 The plainest reason why the Son of God is called the Word, seems to be, that as our words explain our minds to others, so was the Son of God sent in order to reveal his Father's mind to the world. What the evangelist says of Christ proves that he is God. He asserts, His existence in the beginning; His coexistence with the Father. The Word was with God. All things were made by him, and not as an instrument. Without him was not any thing made that was made, from the highest angel to the meanest worm. This shows how well qualified he was for the work of our redemption and salvation. The light of reason, as well as the life of sense, is derived from him, and depends upon him. This eternal Word, this true Light shines, but the darkness comprehends it not. Let us pray without ceasing, that our eyes may be opened to behold this Light, that we may walk in it; and thus be made wise unto salvation, by faith in Jesus Christ.
Question for you: If that which is seen was created by that which is unseen....then there is more substance in the unseen than the seen....the creation cannot be greater than the creator....All things.....without Him was not anything made that was made.....
Now cross-reference
Colossians 1:16 Context
13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated
us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14In whom we have redemption through his blood,
even the forgiveness of sins:
15Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all
things he might have the preeminence.
19For it pleased
the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
So does it seem plausible that Jesus the creator was fully able to interact with His creation since we are created in His image? So Jesus was able to manifest himself in the flesh, He is not created but the creator....the begotten Son, not the created son.
