Who and what is Jesus?
If you ever wanted to know what Jesus is all about, what we call Christology, there is nothing really to add to this passage from Colossians 1:15-23
15Christ is exactly like God, who cannot be seen. He is the first-born Son, superior to all creation.
16Everything was created by him, everything in heaven and on earth, everything seen and unseen, including all forces
and powers, and all rulers and authorities.
All things were created by God’s Son, and everything was made for him.
17God’s Son was before all else, and by him everything is held together.
18He is the head of his body, which is the church.
He is the very beginning, the first to be raised from death, so that he would be above all others.
19God himself was pleased to live fully in his Son.
20And God was pleased for him to make peace by sacrificing his blood on the cross, so that all beings in heaven
and on earth would be brought back to God.
21You used to be far from God. Your thoughts made you his enemies, and you did evil things.
22But his Son became a human and died. So God made peace with you, and now he lets you stand in his presence as people who are holy and faultless and innocent.
23But you must stay deeply rooted and firm in your faith. You must not give up the hope you received when you heard the good news. It was preached to everyone on earth, and I myself have become a servant of this message.
Jesus came to show us God, how he would act, what he would do.
Jesus came to make friends with us.
Jesus lived and died that we could become pure and holy again, fit to be offered back to God.
Wow!
