My husband gets excited each day when the mail delivery comes. I am not sure why, since we would have no mail at all if it weren’t for election candidate promotions, internet provider ads, or deals from companies who want to clean our carpets or replace our windows.
Every election candidate has a resume promoting themselves and a reason why we should vote for them. While our mailbox is filled now with shiny brochures for the local primary election, other media are filled with news of the current frontrunning national candidates. It is a constant barrage of reasons why I should vote for them. This will go on for another 194 days!
I have read and listened to most all of the resumes and reasons why one candidate is better than the other and I am not impressed with any of them. But I admit, resumes are important. There is one in Colossians 1 that doesn’t just impress me, it leaves me breathless.
My Savior and Lord “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. 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 1:15-17 NLT]
Oh King Jesus! Come Quickly!
