A Truly Powerful Savior!

Day #3 Reading: Colossians 1:15-23

Colossians 1:16-17  For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

This entire passage is so rich with truths about Jesus Christ, that I could write for hours in reflecting upon them. But I will practice restraint and point out just two realities. First, the text makes it clear that Jesus created everything. And he did so FOR HIMSELF! So much of the Christianity of today is man focused. This verse reminds us that our faith really needs to be CHRIST focused. He died for me ... yes! But he did so in the long run to bring glory to God! In addition, verse 17 reminds us that Jesus is the power that holds this vast universe together. You talk about power! This Jesus we love and serve and worship is truly amazing!

Thanks for stopping by . . .
