Jesus Rocks: Creation Held Together

Isn't it great to know that spring is just around the corner? What I love about spring is you get to see the life that has been hidden away all winter come out of every living thing. Even some of us come back to life during this time - LOL. But the wonderful thing about this world we live in is the realization that someone created it. It's the understanding that every day is actually made and designed by someone. That the earth is exactly placed in our universe, that each star is placed in its exact position. This life that we get to see every spring actually comes from someone. Even you and I are strategically placed in the towns we live in for a reason. This someone is God.

Everyone on this planet spends most of their lives trying to figure God out. Whether you believe in God or not, We still have this wonderment of how this and us all came to be. We look to so many things. books, people, friends, family, TV, internet, Google, science, philosophers, etc. just to try and understand the creator of all of this.

What if you could actually see God? What if we could actually know how God would be if He were to be in our situation? Hmmmm.

And then we have sermons like these last few weeks, talking about all these things we can receive as believers -

That we have hope for a place called heaven.
That we can have super knowledge, spiritual wisdom, and understanding.
That we can be thankful people and live joyful lives.
That we may be strengthened with all power.
That we may have kingdom authority, and victory.
That we have redemption and forgiveness of sins.

 

It is almost unbelievable! This is why today we will find out why we can believe.

Colossians 1:15-17 (NIV)
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.

 

Jesus Christ is the key. He was God in a physical form. He not only showed us how to live by His example on this planet, but also the power to hold His creation together. Wow! I wonder if He has the ability to hold our lives together. I wonder if we can actually discover Gods characteristics just by focusing on Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)
Let is fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning it's shame, and sat down at the right hand fo the throne of God.

 

Let's take a look at the true identity of Jesus Christ.

Just a thought,

Mike M.
