Worship Christ as Everything

R. Kent Hughes, in Worship by the Book, reflecting on the nature of worship and Colossians 1:15-20 (p. 153):
If you worship Christ as the Creator of everything, every cosmic speck across billions of light years of trackless space, the Creator of the texture and shapes and colors that dazzle our eyes; if you worship Christ as Sustainer of all creation, who by his word holds the atoms of your body and this universe together; if you worship him as the Goal of everything, that all creation is for him; if you further worship of Christ as the Reconciler of your soul--then you worship the God of Bible. Anything less than this is reductionist and idolatrous.
