Jesus Christ, as the Sustainer of all creation, holds an unparalleled position of power and authority. He not only created all things but also maintains, guides, and propels everything with flawless precision. From the vast macrocosm of the heavens, where He commands the constellations and determines the paths of lightning, to the intricate details of life on earth, where He provides for the lions and the ravens, His sustaining hand is evident. He knows the birth of every mountain goat and doe, and has uniquely designed the strengths and characteristics of every creature, from the donkey to the eagle. Beyond the physical realm, His sustaining power extends to the spiritual creation. As the head of the body, the church, He focuses His omnipotent intellect and skill on guiding and propelling His brothers and sisters toward a magnificent goal. He continues to reveal Himself as the Sustainer, granting us the vision to witness the unfolding of His spiritual work as He moves creation toward the age when we will join Him in His glory.

Jesus Christ, as the Sustainer, holds a central role in the ongoing maintenance of all creation. Through Him, the Father created the ages, encompassing the divisions of time, history, and culture that relate to God and man, summing up to eternity. Ever since He finished creating, He has been upholding, maintaining, guiding, sustaining, and propelling all things by the word of His power. This includes the galaxies, solar systems, sun, moon, earth, tectonic plates, weather, climate, plant life, animal life, and the course of human history. Despite the Law of Entropy, which dictates that material things break down from order to disorder over time, He manages this progression to ensure it aligns with His will and does not disrupt the creation of the next age. He regulates the orbits of planets and the moon, oversees the earth's ecosystems, and even monitors the life and death of each individual sparrow. All things are in His power to perpetuate or eliminate, as He created them, maintains them, and is heir to them. If He were to withdraw His Spirit and breath, all physical life would cease to exist, demonstrating His absolute authority over creation's sustenance.
