Christ Is All That Matters
December 4th, 2007Categories: God's VIEWS
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything at all and is supreme over all creation. Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see, and the things we can’t see – kings, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities. Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.Colossians 1: 15–18
The Apostle Paul is explaining to us here Christ’s preeminence. He created you, he set you free, he forgave you, he is the image of God and the firstborn of all creation, he preceeded all things, designed all things, and He holds all things together.
Christ is all that matters.
Are you focused on Him daily? Are you beginning your day talking with God, casting your care and burdens upon him daily? God wants to be first in your life. He wants to be in all you say, do and think. He wants others to see Him living in you.
I know we are all busy in our day-to-day activities, with work and our families. I want to challenge you to do as I have had to do. I have set my alarm on my phone to ring at various times throughout my day to remind me to go to my God in prayer, helping me to stay focused on the things not of this world, but the world to come. I know that is cheating a little and I am not too proud that this is what I have to do. However it helps keep me focused on Christ, and how He would have me be in all I think, say and do.
Christ is all that matters, and he lives in all of us.
Colossians 3:11
Is Christ all that matters in your life?
