Daily Devotional by Max Lucado, Jan 11th

“the One who came still comes and the One who spoke still speaks”

 

January 11

 

He ranks higher than everything that has been made.

Colossians 1:15 (NCV)

 

Everything?

 

Find an exception.  Peter's mother-in-law has a fever; Jesus rebukes it.  A tax needs to be paid; Jesus pays it by sending first a coin and then a fisherman's hook into the mouth of a fish.  When five thousand

stomachs growl, Jesus renders a boy's basket a bottomless buffet. Jesus exudes authority.  He bats an eyelash, and nature jumps.

 

No one argues when, at the end of his earthly life, the God-man declares, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth"

(Matt. 28:18, NASB).
