“…He Holds All Creation Together.” Colossians 1:17b (NLT)

There are many types and kinds of glue. Usually a project will dictate the type needed, whether it’s Elmer’s, rubber cement, super glue, etc. However, did you know we are put together with glue?

Deep within our bodies there is a small protein molecule called Laminin. Here’s a crash course in cell structure. Cells organize themselves into certain molecular structures and the type of structure it is determines the type of protein. It is unknown how many types of proteins we have in our bodies. Estimates are somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 different proteins.

There is one type of structure that is a cell-adhesion protein that tells the cells what their jobs are in the body. That cell adhesion protein is called Laminin. It is the super-glue that keeps everything together. Without it, our skin would not stay put over our muscles and our cells would just float away from each other.  If you were to see a picture of Laminin you would see a “cross”! That’s right Laminin is in the shape of a cross. It is no mistake that Laminin looks just like the cross of our Creator. So when the Bible says we are held together through Jesus, He literally means it!

When our Creator the Lord Jesus Christ was forming us in our mother’s womb, He was knitting us together with crosses. God’s glue is thousands of little crosses, invisible to the naked eye, holding us together.  We are His beautiful masterpieces woven together with crosses and saturated in love by our Creator and Heavenly Father. We can be confident that we are secure in our Father’s hands.

“Jesus, You not only used crosses to bind us and hold us together, but You paid for us in full with your precious blood on the cross at Calvary. Oh what a Savior!”

For His Glory
