Christ Holds All The Pieces Together

The book of Colossians is an amazing book to study. And one part in Colossians is a great reminder of who is supreme ruler of the world & that is Jesus. Looking at Colossians 1:15-17 "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creations. For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and by him all things hold together."


Think about it for a moment. In this text it says He is the image of the invisible God, the first born over all creation. The word image refers to an exact visible representation of something or someone. Thus, Jesus the Son represented the invisible God of the Old Testament. The title firstborn does not mean Jesus was created but indicates his priority of rank as supreme over all the created order.


Christ is supreme over creation because he is the Creator. Christ sustains all creations meaning he holds all the pieces together in his hands. As a song says "He's got the whole world in is hands." When our world is falling apart, they are falling apart in his hands. That that right there means he's got us. He's going to take care of it.


I'll explain it this way; There is a protein called laminin - a cell adhesion molecule, which means it holds human body cells together and is in the shape of a cross. If you want to research that yourself Google it! But what it reminds us that Jesus does hold ALL THINGS together - quite literally. So when you feel like your life is falling apart, just know, Jesus is holding all the pieces together. And that is comforting to know that even though in my perspective or mind that things are falling apart such as finances, perhaps job loss, or whatever it maybe, Jesus has supreme over it & he is holding you together. He has you. We can rejoice in this today.
