Ruler of the Universe
'He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation for in
him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things
have been created through him and for him.' Colossians 1:15-16 (NRSV)
Jesus
is God the Son. Jesus is equal with God the Father. Jesus is God in
human form. He is creator. He is creator of all things. He rules
supreme. He is ruler over everything. The invisible becomes visible. The
unseen becomes the seen. In God's Kingdom there are so many
possibilities. Anything can happen. It's remarkable the things that our
God can do. Some things are a mystery but through His Word He is making
everything known.
Dear Father
Thank
you for Your Word. Thank you for Your Son Jesus who is more than a mere
image of You but He is You incarnate and bears the image of both heaven
and earth, You eternal, Your first begotten, Emmanuel, Messiah, seed of
Abraham, son of David, Kingdom revealed, Ruler over all kings of the
earth, the brightness of the glory and character of You the Father.
Thank
you for the Holy Spirit that is alive in me and is day by day changing
me from glory to glory into the image of the glorified Christ. Though
some can choose to ignore You, but only by reason of insanity can one
choose to deny Your existence.
Christ
is the head of the Church and we are His body. He is in full view and
He is reconciling the whole fallen world to Himself. He is pleased to do
it. He owns it all. He set the hope before us. In Him we find our Joy.
We honor You this day with our prayers. We praise You for what You have
done and for what You are doing.
In Jesus's name.
Amen.
