GOD:
HIS SOVEREIGNTY; JESUS CHRIST: HIS SUSTAINING POWER

Christian believers, of all people, should have a sensible view of the “nuclear threat.” What is it that attracts neutrons so irrevocably to the nucleus of an atom? My answer: the living breath of God speaking in His world. It is Jesus, the eternal Son, the express image of God’s person, sustaining all things by His powerful Word (Hebrews 1:3). “In him all things hold together” (Colossians 1:17). Few liberals or modernists will agree with me in that view. They dispute God’s sovereignty and His power. But they are scared. Given the world we live in, the most assuring viewpoint a person can hold is the one I hold. The voice of God fills His world, and Jesus Christ, the living Word, holds everything together.

Colossians 1:15–17; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 4:12

Jesus, Our Man in Glory, 72.
