He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Colossians 1:16-16

Have you ever considered what holds you together? The bible says that Christ holds all creation together. We are part of his creation therefore he holds you together.
Scientists have discovered a protein type molecule called Laminin. This is what holds us all together. It literally holds our skin, organs, and everything else in our body in place. It is literally the glue of our body. Without Lamanin we would just collapse and be a blob on the floor. But God holds his creation together, isn’t it fantastic to know that we are in God’s hands and not the hands of another human.
What does laminin look like? This is a scientific diagram of laminin. The shape of a cross.
Isn’t it remarkable that the symbol we hold dear to and one that speaks so clearly of our relationship with God is the cross.


It is the cross of Christ and the sacrifice of his precious blood that holds us to the Father.
Without the cross we are lost and helpless and falling apart. But because of the love of God he has rescued us and brought us near to God.
You are made of millions of tiny crosses, that hold you together, day after day after day. And there is one cross where our price has been paid that will continue for eternity that will never loose its power.
The power of the Cross of Christ is not in the wood, but in the person who died on it, he has conquered death, he has conquered hell and he has beaten the forces that want to tear us away from a holy God. We can never be separated from the love of God, no one can pluck us out of his hands. We are glued to our God for eternity, and neither death nor life nor anything created can separate us from him.
What a blessing to see and hear about God's truly amazing nature and see how he has placed clues everywhere to show us who He really is.
