How this connects to Jesus
There is no other Maker, Krishna says; all things hang on me as a row of pearls upon its string. The New Testament says something strikingly close of Jesus: in him all things were created, and in him all things hold together (Colossians 1:16-17). Where the Gita points to the Divine sustaining all, Christians confess that this sustaining Word took on a face in Jesus of Nazareth.
