1:15. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
1:16. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
1:17. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
1:18. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 6th October 2025 STUDY:
I know of a believer who was a bit tense as he approached his first-degree exams; he wanted to graduate with honors, at least a second-class upper division. He eventually made it and discovered he felt no different. He thought a Master’s degree would give him that boost; he finished his masters and discovered the world did not change.
A Ph.D might just be the magic he needed; but he finished that also without feeling on top of the world. As he discovered, only a proper relationship with Christ gave him the inner joy he needed to move through life. This experience has been the story of many. And the reason is very simple: He (Jesus) is before all things, and in him alone all things hold together (v.17). Even life itself cannot hold together outside him.
The pursuit of worldly goods and achievements do no guarantee ultimate happiness; political power does not guarantee it either. Same goes for fame. We were created for him; and only in him can we ever find fulfillment. Determine today to pursue a proper relationship with Christ; it is your only guaranteed means of finding fulfillment in this world. All other things will fail.
MEDITATION: God says “I am righteous in all My ways and kind in all that I do. Psalm 145:17”
