What does it mean that Christ upholds all things?

Answered in 2 sources

It means that Christ continually sustains and governs the universe by His power, as affirmed in Hebrews 1:3.

The statement that Christ upholds all things encompasses the active role He plays in sustaining creation, as indicated in Hebrews 1:3. This underscores His authority over every aspect of existence, ensuring that nothing operates outside of His control. It highlights the belief that God did not create the world and distance Himself, but rather is intimately involved in every detail moment by moment. Christ's sustaining power provides comfort to believers, reminding them that despite outward chaos or uncertainty, He is orchestrating all events according to His divine purpose. This assurance fosters trust in God's sovereignty and grace, encouraging believers to find their rest in the certainty of Christ’s oversight.
