15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
[COLOSSIANS 1:15-20 NKJV]
What comes to your mind when you hear the term 'Greatest Of All Time'? We all have a greatest 'someone' that we look up to in our lives, but the one who truly is the GOAT has no other name than Jesus. To understand the supremacy of Jesus, Paul writes this letter to the Colossians to teach us that Jesus was there from the very beginning. The word says that “All things were created through him and for him”. This means that he created day and night and things on heaven and earth, and also you and me in his own image so we can find our identity and purpose living a life through him and for him.
All things were created by Jesus and for Jesus.
The biggest questions we have in life are “who am I?” and “why am I here?” The answers to these important questions are not found through knowledge but are found through a relationship, our relationship with Jesus, the one who created us.
“For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:16

Our bodies are made of up to 60% water, held together by laminin. Laminin, ironically, is a cross shaped cell adhesion molecule. It’s no coincidence that before Jesus ever bore the cross, He made this laminin which mimics the way the cross holds together the body of Christ. Despite when circumstances appear to be falling apart, Jesus is holding tight.
“He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17

The resurrection was the start to the promise of eternal life and the beginning of our commitment to spread the gospel. When Jesus beat death he consequently gave life to all those who would believe. We have the privilege to spread the good news. What was once the devil's greatest weapon was defeated when Jesus died a sinless death and is now our greatest gift! We can walk forward inhaling comfort and exhaling joy knowing death is defeated. He is the Greatest of All Time. The one and only G.O.A.T. No one is like him. He cannot be compared to anything or anyone. He is all in all.
Share the great news about Jesus defeating death and giving us life with someone you encounter this week.
