Colossians 1:15–20: No Ordinary God
Colossians 1:15–20 presents a Son who is no distant spectator: the image of the invisible God, the agent of creation, the one in whom all things hold together, and the one who made peace through the blood of his cross. The passage then turns that cosmic claim toward ordinary people who were once alienated.
Colossians 1:15–20: Who Is Jesus Christ?
Colossians 1:15–20 answers the question of who Jesus is by placing him before and above everything created. The Son is the visible likeness of the unseen God, the one through whom and for whom all things exist, and the one in whom God's fullness dwells to reconcile all things by his cross.
