Colossians 1:15-18
Why do I need my heart circumcised? Deut 30:6; Col 2:8-15
Why must I see Christ as Supreme over all? Because…
I. He is the IMAGE of the invisible God (Col 1:15a)
II. He is the FIRSTBORN over all creation (Col 1:15b-17)
Why?Paul gives us 5 reasons:
- 16a for in Him all things were created = He is the sphere of creation
All things regardless of location, Visibility or rank.
Every person, place & rank is subject to His Authority. - 16b all thing have been created through Him= He is the Personal Agent of Creation
- 16c and for Him= He is The ultimate purpose of all creation
- 17a He is before all things. He is The Sovereign over all creation
- 17b in Him all things hold together = He Continues personal involvement in Creation
III. He is the HEAD of the body, the church (Col 1:18)
