Some years back there was a movie starring John Denver and George Burns called "Oh, God!"
Now although much of the theology of that movie was not scriptural, I remember one thing that rang true to me and left an impression.
After God tells John Denver's character he is going to be his messenger, John asks for a symbol or sign. God gives him a business card. John looks it over and there is one word typed on it.
God.
What I love about that is, that really sums it up. He is God. Like when Moses asked, "who do I say sent me?" and God answers, "I am".
Think about that for a moment. God is God.
And Jesus Christ is the very image of God himself. This is the Jesus Christ whom we accepted, who died so that by our faith we are saved, and whom we can trust with our lives.
Reading Colossians today.
"The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy." Colossians 1:15-18 (NIV)
He is able to meet all our needs, calm all our storms, lead our life.
And he is worthy of our full submission, including reigning over our time, talent and treasures.
He is God.
