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:

31 He that cometh from above is above all:
he that is of the earth is earthly,
and speaketh of the earth:
he that cometh from heaven is above all.

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

from whence also we look for the Saviour,
the Lord Jesus Christ:
Colossians 3:1-2

3 If ye then be risen with Christ,
seek those things which are above,
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth.

the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand
of the throne of God.
CHRIST lives in believers:
Galatians 2:20
King James Version
20 I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me,
and gave himself for me.
Romans 8:10

10 And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
