Supremacy of Christ

 November 27  – Supremacy of Christ - Col 1:15-20

 

     Paul tells us this morning about the supremacy of Christ.  He is the visible image of the invisible God.  He is the greatest and first in place over all creation.  All things were created by Him both in heaven and on earth. 

     All authority, rule, might and dominion were created by Him and through Him all things are held together.  Jesus was an active part of creation.  He is the head of the church. He is the beginning of the church.  He is the focal point of history and the foundation stone of the church.  He was the first to rise from the dead and defeat death once and for all.  He was in flesh all the Godhead dwelling.  Through Him man was reconciled to God.  All things have been reconciled through His shedding of blood on the cross. 

     Christ is the supreme Lord.  He is not only our Saviour but He must also be our Lord.  Christ left glory to be a man and die for the sins of mankind.  He is God with a face.  Today just don’t think of Jesus as a wonderful man, He is God.
