Big World, Bigger God
December 16, 2017
For by [Jesus] all things were created.
Colossians 1:16 nasb
As we drove through northern Michigan, Marlene exclaimed, Its unbelievable how big the world is! She made her comment as we passed a sign marking the 45th parallelthe point halfway between the equator and the North Pole. We talked about how small we are and how vast our world is. Yet, compared to the size of the universe, our tiny planet is only a speck of dust.
If our world is great, and the universe is vastly greater, how big is the One who powerfully created it? The Bible tells us, For by [Jesus] all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authoritiesall things have been created through Him and for Him (Col. 1:16 nasb).
This is good news because this same Jesus who created the universe is the One who has come to rescue us from our sin for every day and forever. The night before He died, Jesus said, These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world (John 16:33 nasb).
When facing the large and small challenges of life, we call on the One who made the universe, died and rose again, and won victory over this worlds brokenness. In our times of struggle, He powerfully offers us His peace.
Lord, Im grateful that You are greater than my mind could ever comprehend. Help me to trust You today.
Gods grace is immeasurable, His mercy inexhaustible, His peace inexpressible.
In Colossians Paul combats false teaching that seems to have included both Jewish asceticism (severe self-discipline) and the idea that the material world is bad and we are saved by avoiding it (see 2:1623)ideas similar to what would later be known as Gnosticism. Paul argued that the teachers of such idle notions (2:18), despite appearing wise (v. 23), were missing the point entirely. By focusing on their own ideas and rules (vv. 18, 22), they were missing Christthe One through whom everything holds together (v. 19).
Colossians 1:1517, often believed to be a Christian hymn, beautifully reinforces the truth that the gospel includes hope for the material world, Gods good creation. Because Jesus is the One who holds creation together (vv. 1718), He restores not only harmony between people and God but between the creation and God (v. 20). Believers, as those living in His kingdom (vv. 1214), can experience a taste of this renewed creation, even as we long for the final restoration.
How might Colossians 1:1217 give us hope that God cares about and is involved with the particular areas of brokenness in our lives and world?

TCHAIKOVSKY: THE NUTCRACKERThis ballet failed at its premiere, and it took a long time to catch on with the public. Today its one of the most beloved orchestral and dance works in the repertory, a holiday perennial. The story is by E. T. A. Hoffmann, the great German fantasist of the early 19th Century.
The first act advances the plot, and the purpose of the second act is to show off the dancers moves.
This is the complete ballet, all 105 minutes of it, a Russian production from St. Petersburg taped in 2012.

Hi Dear Publius!
Finished Atlas Shrugged and just finishing up your book!
Chuckling with you over you critique of the clunky post-speech action! Poor Eddie. Sometimes I feel JUST like him!
The “Nutcracker” is a yearly fixture in Boston starring The Boston Ballet and several children’s ballet schools.
One year, the Arabian Dance was so salacious that it almost got the ting cancelled! It was totally unnecessary in a production that was aimed at CHILDREN.
I have seen it MANY times, but now it is too expensive.
PS. I wrote a review of your book under the handle “EmmelleBassWoamn.”

One of my PubNite Friends, a Jewish man named Scotty, was asked to be Santa at an office Christmas party. He was able to obtain a beard and a hat, but the only costume he has available is a “Fat Elvis” White sequinned Jumpsuit.
I told him to combine the two and go to the party as “Santelvis”! :-0
