And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Colossians 1:17 

Today we will look at God’s power and glory as demonstrated through His one and only Son, who is fully God and fully man. This means Jesus is meant to have supremacy over every nation, every government, every cultural persuasion, every thought you think, every dream you dream, every emotion you feel, and everything in between. As we see Jesus rightly, we savor Jesus accordingly. When He returns, our Father in heaven will give His beloved Son everything He has been promised as an inheritance. We are part of that inheritance—and we can give Jesus part of His inheritance even today when we choose Him above everything else. This means we obey Him when it defies culture. We choose Him when we want something else. We submit to Him when our emotions try to pull us away from the straight and narrow road that leads to life.

“If Christ be anything, He must be everything.”

Charles Spurgeon

When Paul wrote to the Colossians to clarify the Person of Jesus for them, he did not use weak language. Everything has been made by, through, and for Jesus to this end: that Jesus would be preeminent in all things. Meaning this: Jesus over everything. As Charles Spurgeon put it, “If Christ be anything, He must be everything.”

He was born or begotten before all the creation, before any creature was made, which is the Scripture way of representing eternity, and by which the eternity of God is represented to us. All things being created by Him, were created for him; being made by his power, they were made according to his pleasure, and for his praise and glory. He not only created them all at first, but it is by the word of his power that they are upheld.

Christ as Mediator is the Head of the body, the church; all grace and strength are from him; and the church is his body. All fulness dwells in him; a fulness of merit and righteousness, of strength and grace for us. God showed his justice in requiring full satisfaction. This mode of redeeming mankind by the death of Christ was most suitable. Here is presented to our view the method of being reconciled. And that, notwithstanding the hatred of sin on God’s part, it pleased God to reconcile fallen man to himself.

If convinced that we were enemies in our minds by wicked works, and that we are now reconciled to God by the sacrifice and death of Christ in our nature, we shall not attempt to explain away, nor yet think fully to comprehend these mysteries; but we shall see the glory of this plan of redemption and rejoice in the hope set before us. If this be so, that God’s love is so great to us, what shall we do now for God? Be frequent in prayer and abound in holy duties; and live no more to yourselves, but to Christ. Christ died for us. But wherefore? That we should still live in sin? No; but that we should die to sin, and live henceforth not to ourselves, but to Him. – Bible Hub

Christ in his human nature, is the visible discovery of the invisible God, and he that hath seen Him hath seen the Father.
