Ministering: Assistant Pastor Wole Olubajo
Text: Colossians 1:15-18.
” 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.“
Christ’s relation to all things is immense. He created all things. He upholds all things. He sustains all things. He is before all things. He is above all things. He fills all things. He is Head over all things. He is Lord of all.
Christ is The Origin and Efficient Cause of all that Exist. As little as we were created without Him can we exist without Him. Our Salvation is a Living Person. God’s relation to all that exist is only through The Son. He is our Savior because all things exist in Him. He is our Living Bread because all things exist in Him. He is our Living Water because all things exist in Him.
Nothing exists outside Him. Whatever we are looking for is not lost, they are all exist in Him. God has made Him all things unto us. If we need wisdom, God has made Christ Wisdom unto us. He is The Power sustaining all existing things. Without Him was nothing made that was made. He is The Source of All Living. The sustenance of all things is through Him. The One in Whom all things exist is The One dwelling in Us. Without Him anything existing is not existing. Without Him, any created thing couldn’t have been. In Him all things have their proper place. Outside Him all things fall apart.
He is The Center and Hub of the entire creation. He bears all things. In The Past, He created all that exist. In The Present, He upholds all that exist. In The Future, He will inherit all that exist.
It is through Him God is made Manifest to all that exist. It is through Him alone all that exists can come into a living contact The Uncreated God. He is The Source of our Existence, The Grand of All Being, we owe our being alive to Him!
As The One in Whom all things exist, He charges us to abide in Him, to behold Him and to let His Word abide in us richly. He is The One Who gives meaning to all things. Nothing has meaning outside Him.
In closing, For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be 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. And He is The Head of the Body, the Church: Who is the Beginning, The Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the Preeminence.
Even The Father and The Spirit exist in Him, for in Him dwells all The Fullness of The Godhead. Col. 2:9, John 14:6-11, 2 Cor. 3:17
God Bless You!
