Christ is both the Creator and the creature.

[jidong xiao]

祂是人，被神以那灵所膏，（约一32～33，太三16，）来完成神永远的定旨。因此，祂是那基督，是那受膏者。（约二十31。）

基督是神的儿子，（约二十31，）是神的像，（西一15，）是神荣耀的光辉，是神本质的印像，（来一3，）祂本有神的形状且与神同等。（腓二6，约五18。）祂是神的儿子，在父的名里，（约五43，）从父而来，并且同父而来。（约六46，直译。）因此，祂称为父。（赛九6。）祂与神同在，并且祂在已过的永远里就是神，（约一1～2，）祂与父不仅同时并存，并且互相内在。（约十四10上，11上，十七21。）甚至当祂在地上在肉体里的时候，父也与祂同在。（约十六32。）因此，基督与父乃是一，（约十30，）在父的名里、并与父一同行事，（约十25，十四10下，）行父的旨意，（约六38，五30，）说父的话，（约三34上，十四24，）寻求父的荣耀，（约七18，）并且彰显父。（约十四7～9。）

基督乃是永远的神，祂是万物的创造者；（约一3；）祂乃是人，带着血肉之体（来二14）在肉体里而来；（约壹四2；）祂是受造之物，就是一切受造之物的首生者。（西一15下。）因此，祂是创造者，也是受造之物。

As a man He was anointed by God with the Spirit (John 1:32-33; Matt. 3:16) to accomplish God's eternal purpose. Hence, He is the Christ, the anointed One (John 20:31). 

Christ is the Son of God (John 20:31), who is the image of God (Col. 1:15), the effulgence of God's glory and the express image of His substance (Heb. 1:3), subsisting in the form of God and equal with God (Phil. 2:6; John 5:18). As the Son of God He came in the flesh with (Gk., para, from with) the Father (John 6:46) and in the name of the Father (John 5:43). Hence, He is called the Father (Isa. 9:6). He was with God, and He was God in eternity past (John 1:1- 2), not only coexisting but also coinhering with the Father all the time (John 14:10a, 11a; 17:21). Even while He was in the flesh on the earth, the Father was with Him (John 16:32). Hence, Christ was one with the Father (John 10:30), working in the Father's name and with the Father (John 10:25; 14:10b), doing the Father's will (John 6:38; 5:30), speaking the Father's word (John 3:34a; 14:24), seeking the Father's glory (John 7:18), and expressing the Father (John 14:7-9). 

As the eternal God, Christ is the Creator of all things (John 1:3), and as a man who came in the flesh (1 John 4:2) with the physical blood and flesh (Heb. 2:14), He is a creature, the Firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15b). Hence, He is both the Creator and the creature.
