The Ruler of the World

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.

Colossians 1:16

Because the false teachers believed that the physical world was evil, they thought that God himself could not have created it. If Christ were God, they reasoned, he would be in charge only of the spiritual world. But Paul explained that that all the rulers, powers, thrones, and authorities of both the spiritual and physical worlds were created by and are under the authority of Christ himself. This includes not only the government but also the spiritual world that the heretics were so concerned about. Christ has no equal, and no rival. He is the Lord of all. He is big enough to fulfill His every promise. He is great enough to handle your biggest worries this Christmas season. He is God enough to provide peace in chaos and light in darkness. Continue to trust Him and He will bless you.

God Bless you,

JH
