“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.”
Colossians 1:16
Just a big bang theory? Impossible with Jesus at the center!
The world was created for Jesus. All creation and history flow from and point to Him. We live in 2024 A.D.—Anno Domine, Latin for “in the year of our Lord.” History has acknowledged its focal point, and it is Jesus Christ!
Jesus is the goal of all things. All creation and all history have been fashioned with Christ in mind, for they achieve their intended purpose through Him and exist for Him. Far from just a big bang theory, all of life and creation draw meaning only from Jesus Christ.
An old English hymn declares, “Of the Father’s love begotten/ Ere the worlds began to be,/ He is Alpha and Omega,/ He the source, the ending He,/ Of the things that are, that have been,/ And that future years shall see,/ Evermore and evermore!”
It’s amazing—the hands which hold history are nail-scarred; the heart from which history beats is love-filled; the mind which plans history is grace-filled. When life confuses or confounds you, remember Christ is the center, and the world is in His hands.
