Laminin and Colossians 1:17

Sunday I shared an illustration for Colossians 1:17. It describes Jesus as the the One who "holds all things together." The illustration came from Louie Giglio. He is an excellent gospel communicator that never fails to bless my heart. There is a portion of one of his message on YouTube that has gotten a lot of play. It relates to this point from Colossians. It is the amazing application point regarding LAMININ.


Here is a simple definition: “Laminins are a family of proteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal tissue.” You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart.

This isn’t evidence the Bible is true or something like that but it makes a good point. What holds our bodies together is laminin. The Bible in Colossians says that in Jesus “all things hold together.” This YouTube Video has Louie sharing the story.
