Well, good evening, everyone.
Good to be here in the house of the Lord. The weather's starting to turn
real nice for us. It's amazing how, you know, I
know I picked the song, but how the Scripture reading even ties
in with what we're going to look at tonight. And tonight's message
is called Christ the Creator. He's King. He's King. Christ
the Creator. We'll be in Colossians 1.16.
Continue our journey through Colossians. And tonight we come to verse
16. And this will magnify the preeminence
of Christ. It will magnify the supremacy
of Christ. We could literally spend weeks
here. I'm just going to be scratching the surface. That's all. Just barely scratching the surface.
I know now why preachers sometimes stop at verses and preach for
like 10 messages. We're just going to do a one-night
message on this verse, and then we'll continue our journey, as
I said, through each. This is literally a place where
you can... I was talking to young Jacob today, and I was talking
to him about the message here, and he said, I said, yeah, there's
just so much. And he said, have you ever exhausted
a verse, Brother Wayne? We're never exhausted. One verse
of God's Word. So let's look at Colossians 1.16
tonight. For by Him were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
all things were created by Him and for Him. All things were
created by Him and for Him. Last week we looked at verse
15. And we saw that Christ is the
image of God. Christ is the image of God. And we're going to continue on
this vein. We're going to continue looking at the preeminence of
Christ. Christ is the express image of
God. He is the God-man. Fully God
and yet fully man. Fully God and yet fully man. In verse 14 it says, "...in whom
we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of
sins." It is therefore our Savior's
blood which was shed for the redemption of His people. For
the redemption of the people given to Him by the Father in
eternity. Verse 13 is the one who is spoken of in verse 16, who
is identified as His Son. And this is Jesus Christ our
Lord. He's the one spoken of here in verse 16, who created
all things. All things. And He has all power. Look at verse 13, "...who delivered
us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the
kingdom of His dear Son." So he's identified right there,
right? He's been identified earlier up, but in the context of the
scripture here. In whom we have redemption through
his blood. So there's only redemption through Christ and him alone.
Even the forgiveness of sins. Who's the image of the invisible
God. He's the express image, Hebrews said, of God. The firstborn
of every creature. And then now we tie in our text.
For by him, the Son. For by him, God. were all things
created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and
invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities
or powers, all things were created by Him and for Him. So He's the
Creator. God is the Creator. Turn, if
you would, to Genesis 1 and put your finger in John 1 and remember
what we just read here. For by Him were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
all things were created by Him and for Him. So the One spoken
of here in verse 16 has all power. He's supreme. He has all power. And this is a magnificent display
of God's power in verse 16. None, none has this power spoken
of in this text but God. No one else. No one else. And we know from our text last
week that the Lord Jesus Christ is the express image of God.
He's God in the flesh. The God-man. Now look at Genesis
chapter 1, verse 1. In the beginning God
created the heaven and earth. And our text says, for by Him
were all things created. There's His deity right there,
beloved. Right before us. He's God. And the earth was without
form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God
said, Let there be light. And there was light. What God commands comes to pass. And God called the light day,
and the darkness He called night, and the evening and the morning
were the first day. Now tie this in with John 1. Let's turn there. John 1. And keep remembering.
Remember our text. for by Him were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers,
all things were created by Him and for Him." Now, we know that
God created all things. Look at what John 1, verses 1-3
says. In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. We know that
God, Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, And then
it says this, but it says here, the Word was with God, and the
Word was God. John 1, verse 2 and 3, the same
was in the beginning with God. Look at this, all things were
made by Him. The same one spoken of in Colossians
1.16. Scripture affirms Scripture.
And without Him was not anything made that was made. And then
later on, in verse 14, it says, the Word became flesh. Oh, the
God-man. The Lord Jesus Christ. So we
clearly can see, based upon the text that we've looked at already,
that Jesus Christ is God the Creator. He's the Creator. And this destroys the false doctrine
that's promoted by the Watchtower cult. It destroys false doctrines out
there. It absolutely destroys. And one
thing you'll notice with a lot of the cults out there, they
will deny that Christ is God. That's one of their big things.
They all deny that, that Christ was God. But it's so plainly
spoken in our text right here, that the one spoken of in verse
15, and 13, and 14, in whom we have redemption, is God. Jesus Christ is and was God. He was God and He is God. And what unity between Christ
and the Father. Turn, if you would, to Romans
11, verse 33-36. For by Him were all things created,
and I'll read our text again, that are in heaven and that are
on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions
or principalities or powers, all things were created by Him.
He's the Creator. There's no doubt. And in Romans
11, verse 33-36, O the depth of the riches, both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God, how unsearchable are His
judgments and His ways past finding out. You can't plumb the depths.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?
Now presidents and kings, they all have counselors. Our king
has no counselor. None. None at all. He needs none. No one's going to advise him.
Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto
him again? For of him and through him And to Him are all things,
to whom be glory forever. Amen. Oh, what a mighty God we
have. And in John 1.3, which we looked
at, Hebrews 1.2 says, By whom also He made the world. And then
back to our text, or I'll just read John 1.3 again. All things
were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that
was made. And in John 1.10, He was in the world, and the world
was made by Him. And the world knew him not. God
incarnated in the flesh. You see the fallacy of people
who say, well, just make a decision for Jesus. Folks didn't even know who he
was. He must reveal himself. He must reveal himself for us
to know him. All things were made. The world
was made through him. Here, by inspiration of the Holy
Spirit, in our text, in verse 16 here, Paul is combating once
again the error of the Gnostics. Once again. He's hitting it head-on. He's hitting it head-on. He's
telling us in this verse that all things, by inspiration of
the Holy Spirit, all things created that are in heaven and that are
on earth, that's everything you could see. and even the things,
visible, and just in case someone wants to throw something out
there, you see how it's incredible. Everything's covered, visible
and invisible. Everything. Everything. Whether they be thrones
or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created
by him and for him. Everything. Everything. Oh, what a mighty God. What supremacy. What supremacy. what preeminence
Christ has. Turn, if you would, to Ephesians
3. I know I've got us turning quite a bit tonight. Ephesians 3, verses 8 and 9. All the unsearchable riches of
Christ. The unsearchable riches of Christ.
We can't mine them. Like I say, we will never exhaust
one verse of Scripture. Never. What we learn here, we're
just scratching the surface. Oh, what a marvelous God we see.
Look at Ephesians 3, verse 8 and 9. The supremacy and preeminence
of the Lord Jesus Christ. God incarnate in the flesh. Unto
me who am less than the least of all saints. Now think of this too as Paul's
progression. This is one of the ones, the
least of all saints, and then he hits the chief of sinners.
So he doesn't see himself getting better. He sees God and His holiness
more and more. But he calls himself the least
of all saints. Is this grace given that I should
preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ? Oh, what unsearchable riches
are in Christ. and to make all men see what
is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the
world hath been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus
Christ. He's the creator. Everything
you see, everything, he created it all. It's amazing. And he created it out of nothing.
He has spoken into existence. We have to have materials to
create things, not God. What He speaks comes to pass. What hope we have when He calls
sinners. What speaks, when He calls a
sinner by name, when He calls a sinner to Himself, they're
going to come running. What hope. We just keep putting
the Gospel out and let God do all the work. He gets all the
glory and all the honor and all the praise. Let us think on this
too. If He created all things, then
He's before all things. Jesus Christ did not begin to
exist in Bethlehem's manger. He is, and was, and is still,
God and Eternity. God and Eternity. He was God
as His incarnation, And we know from other Scriptures that He's
reigning and ruling above right now. Right now. He's never ceased
to be God. And our salvation is all in Him. Back to our text again. And praise
God before we go on. Praise God that He never changes.
Christ never changes. Never. The Colossians 1.16, For
by Him, being Christ, For all things created that are in heaven
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones or dominions, or principalities or powers, all things were created
by Him and for Him. So let us remember this before,
as we continue in our study, that all we see around us was
created for the glory of God. It was created for the glory,
to magnify His glory. To magnify His glory. Just look
at the buds and the blooms coming out. You look at these trees
and they start to, it's just beautiful. It's absolutely beautiful. It just magnifies the glory of
God. Magnifies his glory. And our prayer and our hope is
that if you don't know Christ, oh, that he'd reveal himself
to you, like he's done for us, we who believe. That as the message
goes out, that God, as Brother Newell prayed, that God would
draw in His sheep. That He'd save His sheep. And
this is our hope. That He would reveal Himself
to you if you do not believe, as He has to those of us who
have believed. It's a revelation. It's a revelation
of God. We acknowledge that which is
truth proclaimed, that which is truth revealed, that Jesus
Christ is God. He's God. He's God. And that He created all things,
visible and invisible. And it's all for His glory. Here's
a good illustration I found. If Christ is the Supreme Lord
of all, on whom all heavenly powers depend, then he cannot
require assistance from any of those dependent authorities.
No assistant needed. We saw that, right? No counselors
needed. From any of those dependent authorities,
in order to bring God to people and people to God, he doesn't
need our help. He doesn't need our help. If
God seeks to save a sinner, he'll save that sinner. And He gets
all the glory. We give it all to Him. And then
the quote goes on to this. He is a sufficient Savior because
He is the Supreme Lord. And I want to correct it. He's
the Supreme Lord. There is no other. He is the
Supreme Lord. Oh, Christ is the power which
sustains the universe from its beginning until it's end. He does the same for every believer.
He sustains us from the beginning to our home and glory. He does
it all. So, with that in mind, should
we in any way doubt His power to sustain a believer? No. Those He saves, He keeps. He's
the Alpha, the beginning, and the Omega, the end of our salvation. If He has the power to hold all
this universe together and in place, and we'll look at that
next week, where it says, "...and He is before all things, and
by Him all things consist." Surely He can save a sinner if He so
pleases. And surely He can keep a sinner.
Surely. He's God. He's God. Oh, He has all power to save
and keep a sinner. And Paul is here again combating
the error that Christ is not supreme. Because the Gnostics
didn't believe He was supreme, they believed there was an order.
And that Christ was just one of the order. Maybe one of the
top ones, but still, that there was ruling angels down below.
And this is just not true. There was a whole bunch of things
going on at Colossus. The more I study the book, the
more you see there was all kinds of things going on. But Christ
has all the power. His sufficient, one commentator
said this, His sufficient adequacy depends upon His supreme authority. And He has all authority and
all power. All of it. And He don't share
it with no one. No one. So I think folks talking
about all the crowns they're going to get and all this, It's
just a bunch of hogwash. He gets all the glory. He gets
all the honor. He gets all the praise. All goes
to him. All goes to him. Christ is the
power that sustains this universe. Everything we see and things
we don't see, he sustains it and keeps it all. Oh, and as we study this book, we will see the supremacy of
Christ and the sufficiency of Christ. He's both supreme and
sufficient. He has all power. And we are
complete in Him. We saw that on Sunday, didn't
we? We're complete in Him. Not complete in ourselves, we're
lacking. We're weighed in the balances and found wanting in
ourselves, but not in Christ. Oh, not in Christ. So let us
consider Christ the Creator. Let's go to our text again. For
by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions
or principalities or powers. All things were created by Him
and for Him. Our scripture before us tonight
states fact. This is not up for debate. This
is fact. Folks can and they do form all
kinds of opinions, all kinds of things, but this Bible is
not up for debate and will not have the opinions of man placed
upon it. This is a fact. For by Him were all things created
that are in heaven and that are in earth. He's the Creator. The Bible states this, and it's
not up for debate. It's not up for debate. And the
believer bows his knee. We bow our knee to it. Yes, Lord. So our text declares that all
things were created by Him and for Him. For His glory. To manifest His glory. To manifest
His glory. He saves sinners to manifest
His glory. Oh, what a great God. To manifest
His power. In all things in heaven and in
earth, visible and invisible, we're created by Him. Everything.
Everything. We're just a speck in the whole
universe and all that. He holds it all together. Now,
heaven is a real place. All things in heaven were created
by Him. We're all things created that
are in heaven. Heaven's a real place. It's a real place. And in that place, Jesus Christ
is the center, the preeminent one. Heaven itself was created
by and for Jesus Christ our Lord, and all there will glorify Him.
All there will magnify Him. All there will honor Him. All
there will praise Him. Forever. Forever. and cried with a loud voice,
saying, Salvation to our God, which sitteth upon the throne
and unto the Lamb, saying, Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be unto our God
forever and ever. Amen." Revelation 7, verses 10
and 12. Oh, in heaven we praise God. And everyone and everything there
will be to the praise of the glory of His grace. And not one, not one of God's
chosen people will be missing. Not one. Not one. Everyone whom He has purchased
with His precious blood will be there. Not one of them will
be lost. Not one. And we don't know who
His people are, but He knows. He paid the price for them, He
redeemed them, and everyone whom He hath purchased with His precious
blood will be there. Not one sheep, turn if you would
to Matthew chapter 25, not one sheep, not one lamb will be missing
from the great shepherd's flock. Not one. Not one. In the day
when they pass under the hand of Him who watches over all His
people, they shall all be there. The army of the great Captain
of our salvation shall be complete. When the muster roll is read, they shall all answer to their
names. And all who are gathered there will owe all their salvation
to Christ. Every single one of them. Every
single one will owe all their salvation to the Lamb that was
slain, the Lord Jesus Christ. Look at Matthew 25, verses 32-34.
And before Him shall be gathered all nations. Everyone. And he shall separate them one
from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And
he shall set the sheep on his right hand, and the goats on
his left hand. And the goats on the left. Then
shall the king say unto them on the right hand, Sinners, undeserving
sinners, undeserving of mercy. Right? Every one of us. Then shall the king say, the
king, the king, the creator, the king, God majestic upon his
throne, shall say unto them on the right hand, the ones washed
in his precious blood, come ye blessed of my father, blessed
of my father. Inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world. Oh, what a mighty
God. Not one will be lost. And there
will not be one Pharisee there. Not one. There will not be one
there who says, God, I thank Thee that I'm not as other men
are. No. No. Everyone there will be
redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb of God. There will be not one atheist
there, blaspheming, shouting, there's no God. Because God will
be right there. There be not one there who does
not love Christ. They all love Christ. All who will be there that day
will enter in worshiping and adoring the great King and magnifying
and praising the Lamb of God who was slain for their sins
and has redeemed us, redeemed us with His own precious blood. No wonder we say, or we will
say in heaven, blessings and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving
and honor and power and might be unto our God forever and ever.
He gets it all. He gets it all. All the chosen
of the Father, all for whom the Lamb was slain, all the church
appear together washed from every sinful sin. Whiter than snow. Heaven is a prepared place for
a prepared people by a God who prepares all things for His glory
and for His majesty and for His praise. And He gets it all from
His people. And it was all prepared by the
Lord Jesus Christ. What a great God. What a great
Savior of sinners. Just as an architect designs
a building or a house, the Lord Jesus Christ is the architect
and the designer and the creator of all that we see. In heaven
and in earth, and again, it all magnifies his love. Look at all that he created,
and we'll just see a speck of it here. Oh, what a mighty God. And our
Lord Jesus Christ has gone back to heaven, and He's seated at
the right hand of the Father. There's our King. See how the conqueror mounts
aloft, and to His Father flies, with scars of honor in His flesh
and triumph in His eyes. There our exalted savior reigns
and scatters blessings down. His father well rewards his pains
and bids him wear the crown. He's the king. He gets all the
glory. Our text continues. And that
are in earth visible. We see many wonderful things
upon this earth. Many wonderful things that we
marvel at. God's creation and the things that He does, the
works of His hands, and as I said, we're but a speck in all the
heavens. Think of this, beloved. This
world was made by Him to be a place for Him to live and die upon. God became a man. He lived upon
this earth. The Lord Jesus Christ. died on
Calvary's tree in the Roman place of sinners. And He created it
all. And He did this to redeem us
from all our sins. This earth and all the things
on it that were created by the very one who died on Calvary's
cross is a sinner's substitute. Think of the humility. Think
of the condescension. How much he condescended. God
became man. And then it goes on to say in
our text, and that are in earth. Think of this, the animals, the
different kinds of animals upon the earth that are essential
for our survival. Essential for our survival. They
were all given to us by God for our enjoyment, and our good,
and His glory. That food that appears on your
table, you go and you purchase it, but it gets to your table.
All by God's providence. And this illustrates God's provision
and caring for each one of us in our everyday lives. It shows
us God's wisdom every day in our lives. We are showing God's
wisdom and power and goodness towards His people. Then our text goes on and says,
"...and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers. Now the angels were made by Him,
and they were made for Him." They're made to worship Him and
glorify Him with their adoration, right? They're to praise the
Lord. However great and strong they are, there is not one angel
that was not created by Christ. He made them all. They're all created for Him and
for His glory. And think of this. We see the
physical being of one another, right? But our souls are invisible
to the naked eye. Our souls are encased in this
body of flesh. But to our naked eye, we don't
see them. He made it all. He sees it all. He made everything visible and
invisible. Now think of this, too. We're still discovering
things in space. He made it all. We're discovering
things, though. You hear reports all the time
of new things they're finding. But even these discoveries, and
the more that will come, because there will be more that come,
too. Do not change the truth that Jesus Christ, the God-man,
is the one who created all things. He created it all. He created
it all. And we've talked about this before,
about things in the ocean floor, that we have not yet discovered.
And as these things are revealed, it will not change the truth
again, that Jesus Christ, the God-man, created all things.
No matter what people discover, no matter what they come up,
He created it all. Think of the things on the earth.
We walk on the earth every day. There's things on the earth.
They're still discovering things there too. Doesn't change the
fact that He's the one who created it all. It's amazing. The Lord Jesus
Christ is the Creator of all things, and He has all power.
And one day, as the Apostle says, this will be acknowledged by
all, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, things
in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and
that every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father. Let's go back to our text again.
It says, For by Him were all things created that are in heaven,
And that are in earth visible and invisible, whether they be
thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things are created
by Him and for Him. It does not matter how invisible
the powers of the earth might be to us, Jesus Christ is the
creator of it all. And everything is under His sovereign
control. Everything. Now some commentators were saying,
since Paul's speaking against angel worship and such, it is
spoken of by several commentators that the powers spoken of here
are angelic. We have an all-encompassing statement,
therefore. It seems like it's a shot aimed
directly at what the false teachers were preaching and the worshiping of angels.
Paul says here that thrones, dominions, principalities, powers, which some commentators say are
references to the invisible world of angels, both good and evil. And think of the Colossian heresy
in mind where they were saying to worship angels, and that they
saw them in different levels. The Apostles lay stress on the
hierarchy of angels, which apparently received some prominence in that
heresy in Colossus. And Paul states that they were
all created by Christ. Everything. Everything. And therefore, they
are all subject to his supreme power. Everything. In his preeminence. Everything is subject to him.
Everything. Think of our own world. We have
different powers in the world, right? They used to have powers of kings
and monarchs, but now let's think of a president and a prime minister. People in power with less authority,
lesser authority is political governors. People who may have
power over providential areas and candidates all provinces. Think of the more powers than
that, mayors of cities. Deans of colleges, principals,
schools, policemen, even policemen who enforce the law. One common
thing about all these powers, visible or invisible, is that they are all given by
the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Lord of all power. He has
it all. He's supreme. Romans says this,
13 and 1, let every soul be subject unto the higher powers, for there
is no power but of God. The powers that be are ordained
of God. That should give us peace as
we head into the election. God will ordain him. He will
put out civic duty for us to vote. I can't vote, unfortunately,
but it's a civic duty to vote. But God will put in power whomever
he pleases. That takes a great load off us
in the sense of we know that he is in full control. And the Lord Jesus Christ is
the one who holds all power over all things, and He gives power
to whoever He pleases. But unto them which are called,
both Jews and Greeks, Christ, the power of God and the wisdom
of God. He has all power over bringing
the sin unto Himself. All power. And he does it, and
we rejoice. And then scripture says this,
the king's heart is in the hand of the Lord. The president's
heart is in the hand of the Lord. The prime minister's heart, right?
Whoever's in power is in the hand of the Lord. As the river's
a water, he turns it, whatsoever he will. He does whatever he
pleases. Oh, what peace that brings us. Two things I'd like to finish
as we look at the text here. By Him and for Him. Look at the
latter part of the verse. All things were created by Him
and for Him. Two small little sayings and
little words, but what power in them. All things were created by Him,
He did it all, and for Him. All for His glory. It's all for
Him. What precious truth. The Lord
Jesus Christ created all things and they're all created for His
glory. Just to magnify His glory. Just to magnify the power He
has. Does this not magnify the deity
of Christ too? Because none but God has this
power. None but God. And again, it's in the direct
opposition to the false teachers in Colossus who said it was Christ
plus something. or any kind of work-based religion,
you can measure it all up with that. He gets all the glory. See, if man says he has something
to do with it, I guarantee he's going to glory in it. We used to call them glory robbers,
didn't we? Glory robbers. Folks like to steal glory from
God. Not the believer. No, he gets it all. Oh, like
Brother John says, we'll be quick to give the glory to God. Quick.
Quick to give it to Him. Oh my! And the false teachers also taught
that there was power in heaven through various degrees of angels,
and Christ to them was merely one of them. But this text right
before us, it disposes that error, doesn't it? Out the door it goes. And see, we can measure things
when people come to us with things, we can measure it by Scripture
like this. Does it give God all the glory?
That's how I measure a man's preaching when I listen. Who
gets the glory? Does God get the glory or does
the man get the glory? Because I'll tell you what, if
the man's getting the glory, it's not the Lord's preacher. Because
he wants God to have it all. He wants God to have all the
glory. So everything was created for His pleasure. It pleased
Him. It pleases God to save sinners.
Praise God He saved those of us who believe that. Oh, and He's sufficient to save.
He can save. I don't care what you've done.
He can save. If He's drawn you, you're run
to Him. He can save the vilest of sinners.
He saved me. What a great God. What a great
God. Everything was created for His
pleasure and His purpose so that it might bring glory to Him. Every believer is a trophy of
the grace of God in Christ. It's amazing. It's incredible. Angels worship and minister to
Him. Redeemed men and women glorify Him and praise Him and adore
Him for what He's done. The whole world is created and
kept purely by His accounts. Purely by His accounts. Until
He has finished the great affair of the salvation of His people. And beloved, it's all for His
glory. It's all for His glory. It's
all for His glory. is supreme. He's supreme. He is all the supremacy. And our God is magnificent. And our God reigns. He reigns. No matter what you see going
on, He reigns supreme. Turn, if you would, to Acts 10,
verse 36. And we'll close with this. The Greek word for Lord is Kyrios,
which means, in this text here, which means supreme in authority. And I thought this tied in really
good with our study tonight. The Greek word means supreme
in authority. Supreme. Supreme in authority. Controller. God. Master. Look at this in Acts 10.36. The
word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching
peace by Jesus Christ, He... And remember, this is not up
for debate, is it? He is Lord of all. Supreme in authority. Controller. God. Master. He's the Savior of His people. If Jesus Christ is not Lord of
all, it's been said, He's not Lord at all. But He is Lord,
beloved. He's Lord and He reigns. He is
Lord of all, Scripture declares. There it is. May we rest in the
fact that our blessed Redeemer, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the
God-man and that He is Lord of all. We who believe bow down
to Him. We confess Him as the One who
by Himself, by Himself, purged our sins. By Himself. as the one who is risen from
the grave and is now seated on the sovereign throne in glory.
He's seated there. He reigns. He's Lord of all. Sovereign Lord over the whole
universe and everything in it. He's Lord of all. And we say,
praise His mighty name. Brother John, can you do a song?
