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.
Colossians 1:15–20: Christ Above All Creation
Colossians 1:15–20 does not merely rank Jesus high among great figures. It places him before creation, at its center, and as the one for whom all things exist, so that he might have first place in everything.
