Colossians 1:15-20
Outline
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself…
Colossians 1:20, NIV
Is it not surprising that the world is filled with various sophisticated inventions for solving human problems? And how the same world is full of enormous problems that seem to reproduce themselves each second. One wonders how we have come to have more problems than solutions and how the problems seem unending in spite of the huge innovations. The fact is that the world has been in disarray right from the fail of humankind as recorded in Genesis 3.
The earth was formed by God and it cannot be sustained by physical and mundane inventions alone. Only God has the answers to the problems of the world. Every proposal to reconcile humankind and address his sin problem proved futile until Christ came to the scene. By shedding His blood Christ settled the sin of humankind and spanned the gulf between God and humankind. Since everything on earth has been about Jesus and for Him, ambitions and aspirations will find meaning only in Jesus because He is the Creator and centre of everything. You can find the answer to your question in Him.
