3 Spiritual Journey

4 Col.1:15-20 15 The Son (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

5 Two Pictures Picture # 1 Jesus and Creation * the image of the invisible God, * the firstborn over all creation * in him all things were created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; * all things have been created through him and for him. * He is before all things, * in Him all things hold together

6 Two Pictures Picture # 2 Jesus and the Body (church) * he is the head of the body, * he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, (the first to be resurrected) * he has supremacy in everything. * in (Christ) all (God’s) fullness dwells * through (Christ) all things are reconciled to God, whether things on earth or things in heaven, * (Christ) makes peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

7 The Purpose of the Pictures “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” Col. 1:21-23a
