is held together.
He is the head of his body, which is the church.
He is the very beginning,
the first to be raised
from death,
so that he would be
above all others.
God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son.
And God was pleased for him to make peace
by sacrificing his blood
on the cross,
so that all beings in heaven
and on earth
would be brought back to God.
Colossians 1:17-20
When super glue first came on the scene it was truly amazing. One drop of super glue could hold things together that no other glue could. I can't imagine how many tubes of super glue I have bought over the years. I have at least one not more than ten feet from me right now.
Jesus is the Super Glue of the entire cosmos! Everything holds together because of Jesus. Without Jesus everything would come apart. The physical world would certainly disintegrate. Meaningful relationships would no longer be important without Jesus. Chaos would soon reign and the word "oblivion" would define everything that is!
Jesus is not only the Super Glue of the world, He is also the ultimate Peacemaker! Jesus's Blood that was sacrificed on the Cross made peace between you and God! Without the Cross the wrath of God would righteously and justly destroy all mankind.
So Jesus is everything! He is the Creator, the One who holds it all together, and the One who paid the price to bring you and me back to God! And when we fully understand all of that we are just touching the hem of His garment!
