Colossians 1:17 Eternal Creator and Sustainer of All Things
Colossians 1:17 (KJV) And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Christ is the eternal God. He is before all things – John 1:1-3 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
And Christ is all the Creator of all things, by Him all things are what they are in its order in the universe. Christ is not only the Creator but also the Sustainer of all things – by Him all things consist.
Let us therefore come to Him to give thanks for the life we have and the continued life that He gives. Amen.
