The All-Sufficiency of Christ
By Truman E. Spring
In Colossians 3:11 we have the statement Christ is all in all. Let’s consider the statement.
- He is all in all in CREATION: Hebrews 1:2 It is in Him he made the worlds.
- He is all in all in the ARRANGEMENT of PROVIDENCE Hebrews 1:3 He upholds all things by the power of his word.
- He is all in all in the SCHEME OF REDEMPTION John 14:6; No man cometh unto God except by me. In the final book Revelation 1:5; It is given unto him who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own precious blood. That is why Paul said when writing to the Corinthians that that was the power of the Gospel of the good news of Christ. His death, burial and resurrection. And Romans 10:4 that Christ is the end of all things for those that shall believe.
- He is all in all in the DISPENSING OF ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS: In Ephesians 1:3 Who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
Just think of the blessings that are in Christ and are ours as Christians; forgiveness of sins, comfort in tribulation, hope in this life, guidance and assistance. What a blessing it is to be in Christ. And that is why as we also find in the Scriptures, Colossians 2:12, that we are complete in Christ for Christ is all in all.
I like this little poem I found:
He is a path if any be misled.
He is a robe if any naked be.
If any chance to hunger He is bread.
If any be a bondman he is free.
If any be weak, how strong is He?
To dead men life He is.
To sick men health
To blind men sight and to needy wealth
A pleasure without loss,
A treasure without stealth
Yes, Christ is All in All.; Is He in you and me? If so, we know that we are complete in Jesus Christ. Is He your All in All?
