" CREATOR and SUSTAINER "

Colossians 1:16-17  "For by HIM were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by HIM, and for HIM: and HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist."

     While I never studied the subject of physics during my high school years, I am profoundly aware that the laws of physics play a very practical role in my everyday life - the four most fundamental concepts of physics being: classical mechanic (the Laws of Motion), electromagnetism, Relativity, and Thermodynamics. If "laws" exist that govern physics, then who established such laws and who enforces those laws or makes them operable ? How and why does this immense universe function in a precise manner with very little in the way of random and erratic movement ?

     We have a simple yet complex answer to those questions, and it is encapsulated in the opening verse of the Bible, with supporting evidence in many other passages of Scripture: "In the beginning GOD created the Heaven and the Earth" (Genesis 1:1). The simple answer is: "GOD." But the complexity of it is brought before us when we realize that not only was the universe created and set within the parameters of the laws of physics, but it is maintained and stabilized by the upholding hand of the CREATOR. In today's text, the Apostle Paul wrote that "by [CHRIST] were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible . . . All things were created by HIM, and for HIM: and HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist." Hebrews 1:3 tells us that HE (JESUS CHRIST) "uphold[s] all things by the WORD of HIS power." All things exist because of HIM, and all things continue to function as they should by the command of CHRIST. Rest secure in the hands of the ONE WHO is not only CREATOR also SUSTAINER of our world and the REDEEMER of mankind. Is HE your SAVIOR ? JED

Your servant in CHRIST,
