Colossians 1:15–17 (NKJV)
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible… All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”
Jesus Christ is the perfect revelation of the invisible God. To see Christ is to see the Father (John 14:9 NKJV). He is not a created being, but the supreme Creator, sovereign over all creation. Everything in heaven and on earth—visible and invisible—owes its existence to Him. From galaxies to human life, all were created through Him and for Him.
He is before all things, meaning He is eternal (John 1:1–3 NKJV). Not only did He create all things, but He sustains them; in Him all things consist. Our lives, families, ministries, and the church are upheld by His power.
As we reflect on grace and truth, we praise Jesus as Creator and Sustainer. Let our worship acknowledge His authority, His power, and His rightful place as Lord over all.
