Intro
Jesus
The first movie Beth and I ever saw together as a couple was A Knight’s tale
Chaucer the herald
Paul the greater herald of a greater king
Beginning in Verses 13-14
He begins heralding the greatness of King Jesus, not because the Colossian church doesn’t understand who Jesus is, but because he can’t help himself
The image of the invisible God
He is who we were made to be like!
Firstborn of all creation (15-17)
Genesis narrative.
the very first thing that exist in the void of the universe is the Word of God.
By Him all things were created... - God’s word brings forth everything else into existence.
Thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities
Of everything Paul could have chosen… why these examples
Where is Paul writing from
The purpose of all things : through Him and For him
He is before all things.
In him all things hold together
In him all things hold together
Head of the Church - First born from the dead (18-20)
18 - This mirrors creation.
Just as the Word of God was the beginning all creation.
Jesus, first born of all creation becomes the first born from among the dead
First born in the new creation!!!
Explain new creation...
So that in all things He might be preeminent - this is what it means to be Christ Centered… more on this later!!!
Why does he deserve to be preeminient?
In him the fullness of God was pleased to dwell
Through him to reconcile to himself all things
not just men and women, but all creation is being healed and reconciled in Jesus.
by the blood of the cross.
YOU!!!!
You are part of the broken creation, but Jesus doesn’t leave you as a spectator to the great work of reconciliation he’s doing (21-22)
Your status in verse 21 vs. verse 22
Alienated to - before him (in his presence)
Hostile in mind - Holy
Evil Deeds - above reproach
Evil Deeds - holy
If indeed you continue in the faith
Once saved always saved
Once saved forever following
Conclusion
It’s easy to follow if you remain focussed on who you’re following
