Why didn't the universe fall apart when Jesus died?

In Colossians 1:16-17, it talks about how the world was made by Jesus and for Jesus. But it also says that "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together", so why didn't we all die and the universe, fall apart when Jesus died as it says that "in him all things hold together". Does this mean that Jesus's death wasn't fully death? It's alright if you aren't a Protestant and you answer the question but it would be preferable to hear an answer from a Protestant.
