In Christ, we have an omnipotent Savior — A Savior with unlimited power!
Isaiah asserts that he is "mighty to save" (Isa 63:1). Matthew adds that Christ is the one who "hath power on earth to forgive sins" (Mat. 9:6). And John records that he has "power over all flesh" to "give eternal life" (Jn 17:2).
The power of Christ is demonstrated in his creation. The Bible reveals, “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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist (Colossians1:16-17).
The Lord's omnipotence is also viewed in his power over his creation. Christ is the one who "commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him"
(Lu. 8:25).
The unlimited power of Christ is also demonstrated wonderfully in his Resurrection. Christ is the one who has "power to lay … down" (his life), and "power to take it again (Jn 10:18).
Today, Christ is the one who is "upholding all things by the word of his power" (Heb. 1:3).
Let us join the "voice of a great multitude" in proclaiming, "Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!" (Rev. 19:6).
Praise God for our omnipotent Savior -- the Lord Jesus Christ!
