The Preeminence of Christ

Jesus is the Sphere in which all things created exist, the Agent through which they come into being, and the One for whom they were made.

Colossians 1:16  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.

Jesus holds the physical world together--rotation of the earth, orbits of each planet, tilting of the earth's axis, the atom . . . etc. He also holds the spiritual world together (2 Thes. 2:6,7).

Since Christ created all things, it's no wonder that the winds and waves obey Him, diseases and death flee from Him because He is Master over all. All things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible are under His command.

We are created for Him and therefore we are to please Him and bring Him glory.
