Looking around outwardly at the Church, the world, and the creation,
we do not see the preeminence of Christ. We hardly see it when we
examine our own lives. Is Jesus really Lord? Is God truly sovereign?
Indeed. He is working "all things after the counsel of His own Will"(Ephesians 1:11b). Obviously this is a progressive thing. He does not
suddenly take over the universe, no more than He suddenly takes over each disciple. Children of God are not born fully grown, and Jesus is not building His Church in one day. Instead, He works slowly, almost imperceptibly, increasing and enlarging, gently leading, gradually
revealing Himself in a thousand small ways.
