Colossians 1:16-17
King James Version
16 For by him were all things created,
that are in heaven,
and that are in earth,
visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones,
or dominions,
or principalities,
or powers:
all things were created by him,
and for him:
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
Where can JESUS be found?
Where does He live?
Where did He come from?
In His own words, here's where He is:

he that is of the earth is earthly,
and speaketh of the earth:

that he testifieth;
and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal
that God is true.
