The big picture of Colossians 1:15–20

The big picture of Colossians 1:15–20 Paul gives us a powerful picture of Christ: Jesus is the revelation of God. Jesus is the Creator. Jesus is Lord over creation. Jesus existed before creation. Jesus sustains creation. Jesus is Head of the Church. Jesus conquered death through resurrection. Jesus possesses the fullness of God. Jesus reconciles sinners to God through the cross. Jesus deserves supremacy over everything. So the passage ultimately asks us: Who is Jesus to you? Paul's answer is. He is before all things. He created all things. He sustains all things. He is Head of the Church. He reconciles us to God. And He must have supremacy in all things.
