GLIMPSES OF THE GREAT GOD: DAY TWENTY THREE

"He is the image of the invisible God,  

the firstborn over all creation.

For by Him all things were created:

things in heaven and on earth,

visible and invisible,

whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;

all things were created by Him and for Him.

He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.

And He is the head of the body, the church;

He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead

so that in everything His might have the supremacy.

For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him,

and through Him to reconcile all things,

whether things on earth or things in heaven,

making peace through His blood,

shed on the cross."

Colossians 1:15-20

It’s almost as though the apostle Paul cannot find the right words to describe how amazing Jesus is and great His role is in the whole of creation. He made everything, He owns everything, He controls everything and He is everything and God holds Him up for us to admire, to honour and to worship! Through the pen of the apostle, God is showing off His Son to all creation, human and spirit beings, to be admired, adored and honoured, and boasting about Him because of what He did. That should give us great encouragement.
