Do you know that there are forces in nature that science can’t explain?
Forces such as gravity, centrifugal force, and others.
Scientists can study them; they can analyze them; they can even measure them, but they don’t know why they are there.
One of the physicists who developed the Big Bang Theory puzzled over how
we could live in a world in which practically every object was a
potential nuclear explosion, and yet not be blown to bits.
Carl Darrow, a physicist at Bell Laboratories, wrote that these
particles have no right to be alive at all—they never should have been
created and, if created, they should have blown up instantly.
Yet there is something that relentlessly holds them together.
What is this force that keeps the universe intact?
Where does the power come from to keep us from instantly dissolving into one massive nuclear explosion?
The answer is found in Colossians 1:17-
Jesus "is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
Not only did He create all things (verse 16), but by His hand we are held together.
Jesus Christ is the power behind every mysterious force in the universe.
Someday at the time of His Father’s choosing and as 2 Peter 3:10-12 teaches-
Jesus will withdraw His sustaining influence and there will be a blowout such as none of us has ever imagined.
Then, after our old universe has passed away-
He will create a new heaven and a new earth, where we will live with Him forever. 2 Peter 3:13.
By just a word of His power-
Jesus holds all things together. Hebrews 1:3
He is the relentless force in the universe!
Although unbelieving men and women turn away from Him-
- we worship Him as the central figure in all time and space.
He is supreme.
He is eternal.
He is the Sustainer of all things.
There is no burden He could not carry for you.
