Introduction
Hate of Christmas songs
Colossians 1:15-
Marvel at the Supremacy of Christ
Firstborn of the Creation
God of the old testament
Not the first of the creation, but firstborn privilages
colossians
He is the creator of all things
All things are for his praise and glory
He is eternal
His act of creation involves sustaining
Firstborn of the Church
Firstborn of the Church
He is the ruler/sustainer of the church
Spurgeon
I. First, then, beloved, I have to speak to you concerning OUR UNION TO CHRIST.
We cannot do better than begin with this great truth, that Christ is the Head of his Church.
Hence, we learn, first, that union with Christ is essential to the life of his Church.
Men sometimes lose a foot, or a leg, or an arm, or an eye, or an ear.
It is very remarkable how a man may continue to exist after he has lost several of his limbs, but he cannot live if his head is taken away.
Cut that off, and the decapitated body is dead in an instant.
So, brethren and sisters, the Church of God lives because Christ lives, and its life is entirely derived from him.
If there were no Christ, there would be no Church

Application to leading the Church
Firstborn of the Chruch
He is first over creation and the kingdom that will reign it
Completely God
Through his death, he is reuniting all of creation with God
v. 17: he holds the world in existence and pulls it back to God
Marvel at the Incarnation of Christ
colossians 1:21
Separated from this marvelous God
THE SCANDAL!!!!
Freaky Friday - KY and Louisville
Greeks apalled
We should be
That far gone
The Preeminent Christ eternally incarnate
Appearance to the Disciples
The Slain Lamb
Marvel at the Work of Christ
colossians 1:232
Philosophy debate on communication about aesthetic beauty
The best way to know the beauty of something is to experience it
Only those who remain in the faith were ever in it
If you are not moved by the Gospel, you never were
We all would say with total certainty… Mac vs Jesus
Conclusion
Not something for just Christmas
