CHRIST IS OUR ALL IN ALL
CHRIST IS OUR ALL IN ALL Colossians 1:15-20
Christ is over everything therefore everything we need is found in Christ. This passage, the most famous in the letter is one of the Christological high points of the New Testament and provides a critical basis for the teaching of the letter. As Thompson has put it, ‘one of the distinctive contributions --if not the distinctive contribution ---- of Colossians is its comprehensive vision of reality with the focal point of Christology’ . ~ Douglas Moo I.
CHRIST REIGNS OVER HIS CREATION, vs 15
What is meant is that the Son of God, existing as he did ‘before all things’, exercises the privilege of primogeniture as Lord of creation, the divinely appointed ‘heir of all things’. He was there when creation’s work began, and it was for him as well as through him that it was completed. ~ F.F. Bruce II.
