"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." Col 1:15-20Dare I say more? I know of no other passage of Scripture, save Heb 1, that paints such an awesome picture of who Jesus really is. My one thought today is that our vision of Christ is truly limited as we see things through a thick glass (1 Cor 13:12). Oh, if we could pause today (actually everyday) and reflect on who Jesus is and on what he accomplished, not just for us, but for all of His creation and to please His Father. And we must never forget what Christ continues to do on our behalf and that His ultimate victory is coming really soon. (Rev 22:20)
To God Alone be the Glory
