Something to Think About

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through Him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world.  Everything was created through Him and for Him.  Colossians 1:15-16, New Living Translation




Colossians 1:16 tells us that everything was created for God/Jesus...Don't we live instead as though God is created for US, and to take care of our loved ones?”  ~Francis Chan, Crazy Love (book)




How would our lives look different if we lived out the truth that everything, ourselves included, were created  for the sole purpose to bring glory to Jesus?  How would our lives look different if we lived out the truth that all creation is for Christ, not us?  What if we started to fully live for God, instead of thinking that God exists to fulfill our needs and make us happy?  I think our lives would look much different, churches, families, our country, the world would be much different.  We wouldn't be "I" centered, but looking at the world through the eyes of our Creator.
