The Cosmic, Intimate, Reconciling Christ

Colossians 1:15-23 - Colossians 1:15-20 is one of the most Christologically-rich passages in the entire Bible. It’s poetic form and density of theological truth have made it widely recognized as one of the most powerful passages in the New Testament. In it we learn of Jesus as both the divine, transcendent creator of all things AND as the intimate, sacrificial reconciler between God and humanity. Paul follows it up with application that is as relevant to us as it was to the Colossians: if you want spiritual wisdom and depth, remain in Jesus and His one true unchanging Gospel.
