The Spirit and the Son at Creation


The Spirit and the Son at Creation

Genesis 1:2

Excerpt


At the beginning of Creation Week, the earth was “empty, a formless mass.” There previous was soil and water but no light. The Holy Spirit was “hovering over” this newly created world.

The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, may be best known for his appearance at Pentecost (Acts 2), but he made his grand entrance here, at the very beginning of Creation. We read elsewhere that Jesus, Son of God and second person of the Trinity, took part in Creation as well (John 1:1–3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2).
