Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:
He is …
The exact living image [the essential
manifestation] of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible],
the firstborn [the preeminent one, the sovereign, and the originator] of all
creation. (Colossians 1:15)
By Him….
All things
were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16)
He Himself…
Existed and
is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the
controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] (Colossians 1:17)
He is also…
The head
[the life-source and leader] of the body, the church; and He is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will occupy the first place [He
will stand supreme and be preeminent] in everything. (Colossians 1:18)
It pleased
the Father…
For all
the fullness [of deity—the sum total of His essence, all His perfection,
powers, and attributes] to dwell [permanently] in Him (the Son). (Colossians
1:19)
This same Incomparable
Christ dwells within you.
Knowing
that, is there anything you cannot do?
Is there any mountain too big? Is
there any need that He cannot meet? Is
there any void that He cannot fill?
So, what do
you do with this Incomparable Christ that dwells within you?
Share Him
by bringing good news to the afflicted; binding up the brokenhearted, and proclaiming
liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. (Isaiah 61:1)
