Sustainer

Hebrews 1:3-4

3>>The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4>> So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

1:3 Jesus is an exact representation of God’s glory. He sustains all things through his powerful word.
--- He upholds everything

At the sound of his “words” He sustains everything… He holds it all together
On the reverse side, if he can hold everything together He also has enough power to allow things to fall apart.

I would think with this much power (this much to uphold) would come much stress. After all if Jesus opened His hands (which hold everything together) the world would shift into mass pandemonium and chaos. Kind of a stressful situation HUH???

WRONG—Vs 3 says “After He had provided purification for sins, He SAT down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”

--- Jesus went through his painful death, marvelous resurrection, and now he has the task of holding every corner and crevice of the world together. And all he does is sit at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
--- Jesus keeps every faucet and gear in this world oiled and working properly without breaking a sweat , getting stressed, and for a matter of fact He does it sitting at the right hand of God with His feet up relaxed!

Case and Point
If Jesus is so big and He can hold every seam of this world together without as much as twitching in His seat next to God, and we are His most valued possession, wouldn’t He be big enough to handle all of the problems in our lives which seem microscopic to Him anyway?!
