“One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Eph 4:4

It is hard to image all things. To give consideration for what all things are, what all things have been, what all things will be, both seen and unseen, our mind and imagination is overwhelmed. It is impossible for one who is part of something to consider the whole. We are part of the “all” and we are therefore incomplete. Our scripture passage declares to us the wholeness of God. He is greater than all and all things consist by and for Him (Col 1:17). He is the “one God and Father of all” and there no other like Him, none can compare with Him, and He is complete of Himself. He is the great “I AM” (Ex 3:14). God “who is above all” stepped out of glory and became part of the “all.” He came to all the world that all might be saved, because “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). He came “in the likeness of man and…He humbled Himself” (Phil 2:7-8) in obedience to the will of the Father, to make full payment for the penalty for sin to all who would believe. The One righteous became unrighteous for all, that all who believe “might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Cor 5:21). Jesus died for all, and He is “in you all” who accept and receive Him as Savior. My friend, what a marvelous thing it is to have all your sin forgiven and be cleansed in the blood of Jesus. Let us sing with the song writer who pinned the words “All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live.” Jesus is my all. Jesus is my everything. I will rejoice and be glad in Him. Father, thank You for all You are, all You have done, and all Your going do. I praise You and bless Your holy Name. In the blessed Name of Jesus. Amen.
