I. Jesus is God (15a)
The focus is not trinitarian here...
Firstborn of all creation?
Is this implying that He is a created being?
No, look at vs. 16
Elaborate...
Back to 15
So, when we see “the firstborn of all creation”, what does it mean?
When we hear “first” we think temporal, instead, think positional...
So He is “positionally” the firstborn, but it still says He is “of all creation.”
So, if, as we discussed from verses 16 and 17, He is not created, what does this mean?
That is our second point, It means...
II.
Jesus has become man, while still being God.
(15b)
Temporal/eternal
III.
Jesus is creator and the rightful ruler of all.
(16-17)
IV.
Jesus is the reconciler of all creation, especially the Church (18-20)
Applications:
Because Jesus is God, you can be confident that He is faithful and able to complete the work that was begun in you
Because Jesus is Man, you can know that Jesus understands the things you go through from your prespective
Because Jesus is the rightful ruler, you can obey Him without fear of the consequnce
Lord>Boss
Because Jesus has reconciled the church, you can have confidence in your standing before Him and have hope in the reconciliation of the creation coming to fruition.
