Who is Jesus Christ?

Today's Reading:
Colossians 1-2

In today's reading Paul gives one of the best descriptions of Christ's deity. He did this to refute the false teachings that were present at that time in Colosse. Match Colossians 1 up with Isaiah 53 and you will have a very detailed description of our Lord, Savior, God, King and Redeemer: JESUS CHRIST.

He is the image of the invisible God (1:15)
He is the firstborn over all creation (1:15)
He created all things (1:16)
All things were created for Him (1:16)
He is before all things (1:17)
He holds all things together (1:17)
He is the head of the church (1:18)
He is the firstborn from among the dead (1:18)
He has supremacy over all things (1:18)
He is filled with the fullness of God (1:19)
He has reconciled all things to himself (1:20, 22)
He is the one who makes peace (1:20)
He is the mystery that dwells in you (1:27)
He is the embodiment of all wisdom and knowledge (2:4)
He is the fullness of Deity in bodily form (2:9)

May the Lord encourage your heart, strengthen your faith and enlighten you to the power of God who lives in you as you meditate on the truth of who Jesus Christ is.
