[The Glory Unveiled]
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him [ Colossians 1:16 KJV ]
Everything—visible and invisible—was created by the Lord Jesus Christ and for Him. He existed before all things, and by Him all things came into being. More than that, in Him all things hold together. Nothing in heaven or on earth, whether spiritual or physical, exists independently of Him. This is why we pray in the name of Jesus. It is not merely a religious formula we attach to the end of our prayers. It is an acknowledgment that all authority belongs to Him and that every blessing, provision, and answer comes through the One to whom all things belong. If everything was created by Christ and for Christ, then no request can bypass Him. He is both the source and the rightful owner of all things. The safest and most fruitful position, therefore, is to abide in Him. When we remain in Christ, our desires are gradually shaped by His heart, and we find ourselves asking according to His will. In that place of union with Him, we discover the freedom and confidence to receive what He has already purposed to give. This truth sheds light on the account of Eden. The garden was not created primarily for Adam; it ultimately belonged to Christ, for all things were created through Him and for Him. Adam was placed there as a steward, not as an owner. His tragic error was reaching for what belonged to God without submission to the rightful Lord of creation. By acting independently of Christ’s authority, sin and death entered the human race. Adam’s mistake remains a warning to every generation. Whenever we pursue God’s gifts without yielding to God’s Son, we repeat the spirit of Eden. But when we abide in Christ—allowing His will to govern our own—we walk in the place where His purposes and our desires become aligned. There, we can ask with confidence, knowing that we are seeking what pleases the Owner of all things. Is there something you have long desired but never received? Have you truly surrendered that desire to the One who owns all things? The answer you seek may not begin with striving harder, but with abiding deeper in Christ.
