True Center*

"Things fall apart, the center cannot hold." The words of Irish poet William Butler Yeats (from "The Second Coming") ring true to us today. Within, we sense the lack of real stability in our lives and in our world. In such times we realize that we must find a true center, something more powerful than we or even our human society are. There must be a center that is eternal and indestructible. This center can be found only in Jesus Christ and in the power of His eternal and indestructible life. The hope that is enduring and the life that cannot be destroyed are real and they are available to us today. Christ and the power of His indestructible life are our unique need.

Christ is the embodiment of the eternal life, a life that is uncreated, divine, and everlasting (John 11:25). As such, He is the center of the universe, and because of Him there is a definite reason why things do not fall apart. In his letter to the believers in the city of Colossae nearly two thousand years ago, the apostle Paul explained the universe in terms of this excellent person named Christ Jesus. Christ is the center of the universe, he wrote, both its point of focus and source of stability. In Christ and through Christ "all things were created, in the heavens and on the earth." All things in this universe cohere in Him. They subsist together in Him. Like spokes of a wheel held together by the hub, Christ is the universe's true holding center(Colossians 1:16-17).
