“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. … All things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:15-17
Just a big bang theory? No! Jesus Christ is the certainty in our lives.
That certainty reminds me of a story of some Detroit passengers who were waiting to take off and were listening to their flight attendant welcoming them. She stumbled repeatedly over which destination cities they were bound for, but then an authoritative voice came over the intercom saying, “I’m your pilot, folks. And don’t worry—I know where we’re going!”
Our Sovereign Creator, Jesus, holds our destination in His loving, nail-scarred hands. He has paid the price for it once and for all. Our destiny does lie in a “big bang”—the big bang of a hammer on the nails that hung Him to a cross.
Here’s what’s certain: God promised, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws” (Ezekiel 36:26-27). “If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God” (1 John 4:15).
