John 1:3 Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. Amplified: All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. My version: There is nothing on this earth that exists without Jesus creating it!! This is very powerful because it shows that everything on this earth and everyone on this earth regardless of their title was created by Jesus including ourselves. If I believe that Jesus Christ created everything then I must believe that He has authority over everything since He created it.
I will pose a question to you; do we actually live each day as though we are sons and daughters of the one who created everything? Do we live our lives like we serve the one who has authority over all things and all people.
In fact there is scripture that supports this thought process- Matthew 11:27a “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Now that we possess this knowledge what are we to do with it? Lets go back to Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age.” God is calling us to do this in all aspects of our lives.
Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will.
John 15:19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.
Sons and daughters of the most high take your positions!!!!
So as we start planning for another year- lets strive for excellence. Let us cause Jesus’ light to shine fully in each one of us.
