“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,” – Colossians 1:15-19.
There is none like Jesus. No one book, or even all books together, can accurately represent the greatness of Jesus Christ. No written word can express the unique and unparalleled nature of Jesus Christ. He is far greater than our most fantastic imaginations. He is fully God but also fully man. He is infinite—immeasurable, unquantifiable, uncontainable, unbound, utterly without limit. We cannot take the full measure of Him no matter how hard we may try. Jesus Christ remains the only person who backed up His claims by a sinless life. Everything we need is found in Jesus because He has no equals.
Joshua 10:6 says, “LORD, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power.” Psalm 86: 8-10 says, “There’s no one quite like you among the gods, O Lord, and nothing to compare with your works. All the nations you made are on their way, ready to give honor to you, O Lord, Ready to put your beauty on display, parading your greatness, And the great things you do— God, you’re the one, there’s no one but you!” 2 Samuel 7:22 (ESV ) says, “Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And 1 Chronicles 17:20 (ESV) adds, “There is none like you, O Lord, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.”
Do we look for love beyond our ability to comprehend? There’s none like Jesus in His love. Do we look for a power that can change us and society? There is none like Jesus in what He can do. Do we look for one who knows the future and will lead us into the future? Jesus is the only one who can do that. None is more dependable if you want an anchor for all of life. Jesus is everything you will ever need, and He is more than everything you could desire. He is “all in all” in one person, and there is none like Him.
Revelation 22:20 says, “… I am coming soon…” He came the first time as a lamb, but the second time, He will come as a Lion: every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Every sinner, saint, and person from every religion will bow and know that there is none like Him.
