17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him,
20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

I absolutely love verse 20. How could it be "good" if redemption didn't enter every aspect of creation? It seems to me a call to the now, and an urgent sound seems evident as well. The later(heaven) will be above description, but we need reminders...well, now.
