Better than Duct Tape

 

“He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by Him (Jesus), in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created through Him (Jesus) and for Him (Jesus).  He (Jesus) is before all things and by Him (Jesus) all things hold together.” Colossians 1:15-17

Through Jesus-For Jesus-By Jesus!

This beautiful passage declares that it is Jesus who created all things.  It is for Jesus that all things were created and it is Jesus that holds all things together! Like the song says, Jesus does hold the whole world in His hands!

You and I were created by Jesus.  Man’s theory is that creation was an accident,  but the scripture tells us that creation was an act of love! Man’s theory has no answer for the origin of creation, but scripture gives a clear statement on the origin-“…everything was created by Him.” Your existence was not an accident, and your life is not purposeless.  You were created by Jesus and for Jesus!

“Everyone called by My name and created for My glory. I have formed him; indeed, I have made him.” Isaiah 43:7

Created for His glory! Our life is to bring Jesus glory.  Does my life bring Jesus glory? Does your life bring Jesus glory?  How we treat others, the thoughts we think, the attitudes we have, the things we pursue, the words we say and the things we do, do they bring Jesus glory? Your life has a purpose–to bring glory to Jesus!

Jesus holds all things together, what an amazing statement.  Not only does Jesus hold all of creation together but He also ho


lds our lives together.  If things are falling apart in your life or marriage, look to the one who can hold things together.  He is much better than duct tape!

Read the words written and sung by Nicole C. Mullen (Redeemer)

Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide ’til evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well, I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives, yeah

The very same God that spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring me victory

Now I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer, He lives

To take away my shame
And He lives forever, I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sin
Was the precious life He gave
But now He’s alive and there’s an empty grave

And I know my Redeemer, He lives
I know my Redeemer lives
Let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I know my Redeemer

I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives

I know that, I know that, I know that, I know that
I know my Redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow

I know, I know, He lives, He lives, yeah, yeah
I spoke with Him this morning
He lives, He lives, the tomb is empty
He lives, He lives, I’ve gotta tell everybody, yeah

Life is a journey, learn on the way! Till next time stay in the Scripture!
