Colossians 1:15-17
He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of all creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created,
things visible and invisible … all things have been created through him and for
him. He himself is before all things, and in him all
things hold together.
You know
You have seen the
beginning … and know the end.
You know the One from
whom you come and the One to whom you go at the close of your earthly journey.
You know the energy of life and love who holds all creation together, seeking
ever to draw all things into loving unity.
Everything is destined
to become one, united with the Loving Mystery who reveals the divine will in
our brother and Lord, Jesus the Christ.
Look at him. Imagine
his face blessing children and healing the broken. Imagine, too, how he rebukes
all who would burden our souls with injustice, guilt or harsh demands. Look and
know: He is the beginning and end of all things … and of each of us.
Jesus is the face of
the eternal Christ, the cosmic Christ who works in all things since before the beginning
of time. He reveals what is and was and will evermore be, a Love who creates
and draws all creation into unity with Immeasurable Love.
The fullness of the
fullness of God lives and speaks, blesses and heals through him. So we know:
The beginning is life and love … and the end, too.
Look at him and know.
Look at him and live.
Pr. David L. Miller
