In Colossians the grace of God in Christ rises over the creature's enmity and hatred. He reconciles the universe unto Himself. In 1 Corinthians the life of God in Christ rises supreme over death in its every aspect. The supremacy of His life is such that it will quicken the Universe and expunge death from His domains. Lastly we remind ourselves of Philippians--the heart of the New Testament writings--and there we learn anew of Christ's supremacy. Then, in that scene of universal worship and praise, the Christ of God will not be one amongst many, the Supreme One of Calvary will be recognized as Lord in all His gracious and glorious supremacy "to the glory of God the Father."
He will be supreme THEN.
It is our privilege to recognize His supremacy NOW.
Alan Burns
