“The expansive claims in Colossians 1 verify that Jesus’ current reign impinges on two realities: (1) Who Christ is (where we read of Him as Son, Creator, sustainer, reconciler); and (2) what Christ does (create, control, inherit, triumph, redeem, restore). None of this can be countermanded by the claims of millions of Sunni or Shia devotees. Jesus is relentlessly working to bring everything back to the Father so that God might be “all in all.” Furthermore, Colossians 1 teaches that His supremacy over all things is inherent in His headship of the Church. Nothing in Scripture suggests the Body of Christ should fear ever being swallowed up in some eternal, global Islamic caliphate. Not now. Not ever. Jesus’ reign is that extreme.” --- David Bryant
