Colossians 1:18-20
“From beginning to end he’s there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so expansive, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies…”
“He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth…”
Paul is speaking of Christ. This describes the promised fulfillment of the hope we believers have, that in Christ everything broken will be fixed and shine in fulfillment of its eternal destiny. I cannot imagine anything more beautiful and cannot wait to see it.
Lord, keep me grounded in hoping for healing for every bit of creation.
