Read: Hebrews 1:1-9

All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. -John
1:3

A Navy pilot was describing his complex helicopter to his parents one day. He told them
that a small hexagonal nut held the main rotor to the mast of the helicopter.

"Guess what we call that nut?" he asked his mother.

She could only shrug her shoulders. With a smile, the pilot answered his own question;
"It’s called a Jesus nut."

That may sound irreverent, but here’s an explanation.

If that small piece of metal ever came off, the helicopter would not be able to stay in
the air but would come crashing to the ground. So it’s understandable why pilots in the
Vietnam War gave that little part the name "Jesus nut."

The writer to the Hebrews said that Jesus, who made the world, upholds "all things
by the word of His power"

(1:3). Because of Him, we inhabit a created cosmos, not a chaotic accident. He who made
all reality keeps it from collapsing.

We also need Jesus Christ as our Savior from sin and as Lord of our everyday lives. He
is the One who can lift us above the degrading forces of evil in our world. If you feel as
if your life is crashing down around you, remember that it’s Jesus who holds all things
together – even your life.

 Beneath His watchful eye

His saints securely dwell;

That hand which bears all nature up

Shall guard His children well. -Doddridge

FOR TIME AND ETERNITY, JESUS IS ALL WE NEED.
