The Word/Logos (Jesus) is presently sustaining all things

[John Zain]

I hope this will be a great blessing to all Christians …

Jesus is everything … He is the Creator and the Sustainer of “all things”.

To me, this verse has now taken on a whole new meaning:
“... Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” (1 Corinthians 8:6)

God SPOKE everything into existence (Genesis 1) … His spoken WORD is incredibly powerful.

“He (Jesus) was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God.” (Revelation 19:13)

“All things were made through Him (the Word), and without Him nothing was made
that was made. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us …” (John 1:1-14)

“He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
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. And He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist (hold together).” (Colossians 1:15-17)

“… His Son, whom He (Father God) has appointed heir of things,
through whom also He made the worlds;
who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person,
and upholding (sustaining) all things by the word of His power …” (Hebrews 1:2-3).

Molecular scientists say only one-millionth of an atom consists of solid matter,
and all the rest is EMPTY SPACE!

At the center of an atom is a positively-charged nucleus.
At a relatively great distance from the nucleus are one or more negatively-charged electrons.
Electrons circle around the nucleus at an incredible speed.
This is similar to a fan blade … both the atom and the fan appear to be totally SOLID.

The Force-A of attraction between the electron (negative) and the nucleus (positive)
must be exactly equal to the Force-B velocity of the moving electron …
in order for it to maintain its’ perfect circular pattern.

IF Jesus commanded, “All electrons slow down” …
Forces-A would be greater than Forces-B, causing all electrons to collapse into their nuclei.

IF Jesus commanded, “All electrons speed up” …
Forces-B would be greater than Forces-A, causing all electrons to fly off into space.

IF Jesus commanded either of these two things …
all atoms would disintegrate (disappear), leaving basically nothing at all.

Great thread John, I love to see threads that talk about Jesus. Here are a couple more scriptures to go with what you already posted.

For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Acts 17:28 (NLT)

For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
Romans 11:36 (NLT)

God has now revealed to us his mysterious plan regarding Christ, a plan to fulfill his own good pleasure.10 And this is the plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ—everything in heaven and on earth.11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan
Eph 1:9-11 (NLT)

If more would focus on Jesus and His magnificence instead of the things Christ has already conquered believers would grow spiritually to maturity. I hope more will respond.
