Why is it significant that Christ upholds all things by the word of His power?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus upholds everything by His powerful word, showing His divine authority.

Hebrews 1:3 presents a profound truth that Christ upholds all things by the word of His power. This assertion reveals that not only did Christ create the universe, but He actively sustains it. Without His sustaining presence, all creation would fall apart. This speaks to the omnipotence of Christ and His vital role in God's providence. Colossians 1:17 emphasizes this by stating, 'In Him, all things hold together.' Thus, acknowledging that Christ upholds the universe helps us trust in His sovereignty and provision in our lives and affirms that nothing occurs outside of His divine will.
