CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM


Colossians 1:16


"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." NIV


"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." KJV


Jesus Christ is the creator of all things that exist. He created by Himself and for Himself. There was no other force to encourage or motivate Him. The universe and all things known and unknown were made by an eternal, unlimited, uncreated God. Jesus
Christ is truly God. It is this Jesus Christ, Creator of all things, who set aside His place as God, humbled Himself and became a man so that He would be the sinless sacrifice for our sins. How much more should we humble ourselves in service to Him?


Heavenly Father, we are not capable of fully knowing the greatness of Your power and majesty. Neither can we realize the tremendous sacrifice You made for us. We praise You and worship You, Lord, and we humbly ask that we will walk pleasing in Your sight through obedience. In Jesus' name. Amen
