Upholds all things

who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. – Hebrews 1.3-4

 

There are days when this old world seems like it is about to fall apart. It seems to be tearing apart at the seams. The broken world is certainly broken. What is holding it all together?

 

The answer is clear – Jesus will. He is the brightness of God’s glory and the perfect image of God. He upholds all things by His power. He has purged our sins and He now site on the right hand of our Father. He is far and above any other celestial or heavenly being.

 

How blessed we are to know that there is a God who is in control. This can only go so far. The God who is slow to anger and abounding in mercy is going to hold this world together as long as possible to give everyone a chance to be saved.

 

The word that created the world upholds and sustains it today.
