The Relation of Christ to the Created Universe
John 1:3
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.


All things are —

I. IN Him. All archetypal forms and sources of creative life eternally reside in Him.

II. BY Him. He is the one Producer and Sustainer of all created existence.

III. FOR Him. He is the end of created things. Living for Him the explanation and law of every creature.

(Van Doren.)
