We learn some fascinating things about Jesus, the Son of God, when reading his description from Paul in Colossians.

You probably knew that the universe coalesced and developed life because of Jesus. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or ruler or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

But do you remember that even now, this very moment, Jesus sustains all life? He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

If Jesus lets go, we explode into a gazillion pieces, which then float through space eroding into a gazillion more pieces. Happy to not be flying into little chunks all over your room? Thank Jesus—the creator and sustainer of all.

Paul paints for us these images of the supremacy of the Son of God. But I love the way the preacher, S.M. Lockridge (Shadrach Meshach Lockridge) put the thoughts into words. I don’t think anyone ever said it better.

That’s my King. Do you know him?
