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.
