Theme of the parashah
God is the Creator
Finding Messiah in Triennial Bereisheet
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness understood it not. Joh 1:1-5
The Word that God spoke at Creation is Messiah.
[He] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they are thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. Col 1:15-17
He continues to uphold the universe by the Word of His Power—that is, by Yeshua.
… Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high … Heb 1:3
Messiah Yeshua is the I AM from the foundation of the world, the Light of the world, and our Sabbath Rest. Admittedly, some of these things are mysteries. But God is showing us that He is what comes out of His mouth; that what He speaks is what He is and who He is. Words cannot be divorced from persona or character, because “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks,” (Luk 6:45).
Yeshua said unto them, “Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.” Joh 8:58
Then spoke Yeshua again unto them, saying, “I AM the light of the world: he that follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Joh 8:12
“Come unto Me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I AM meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Mat 11:28-30
