By Him:
All things…. Say it with me – ALL THINGS – were created by Jesus. He is the Word of God, and only by the Word of God does creation happen. “Then God said…” is how everything starts (just read Genesis)!
Through Him:
ALL THINGS were created through Jesus. I love the way the Apostle John puts it: “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” (John 1:3) Was it made? Then you know it was made through Him!
For Him:
ALL THINGS were made for Jesus. Just think about this one for a minute…. All things were made for Jesus. Nothing was made that was not made for Him. Me, You, your child, your house, dog, car, phone... that tree outside your window... ALL THINGS. Were made. For Him.
Jesus made the people who choose turn away from Him. He made the people who turn to Him. He made the way for them all to be saved. And He is making ALL THINGS new.
That is enough to make me want to get on my knees and raise my hands to my Maker. But that’s not all – in Him there is always more:
And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 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. (Colossians 1:17-18)
Jesus is before ALL THINGS. He holds ALL THINGS together. He is, in fact, EVERYTHING.
