Worship Christ as Creator and Sustainer

Colossians 1:15-18    
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

To see Jesus Christ is to see God.  He is the exact likeness you look at when gazing into the Father, our great God and Savior.  He is also the Word through whom all of us and every single thing is made by God’s will and work for Himself.  This includes the universe and the spiritual realm of angelic beings, loyal and fallen.  Nothing is outside His creative will and utterance in and through Christ.  Jesus even holds the very atoms of the universe together, keeping the spinning particles from coming apart unless at His command.  He also holds together the farthest galaxies and every star in them.  All exists in Him, by Him, and for Him.  He is also the firstborn as the man, the second Adam, raised from death to life, making Him above all in the church and creation.  As our head, He rules absolutely and is to be worshipped as only God is to be, above all else.  When we realize who Jesus is, we can only fall down in our souls to worship and give all glory, honor, and praise to Him who is absolutely worthy!
