Col 1:17-18 Heb 2:7 Christ has the preeminence now – We have already been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Eph 1:7-8 But the world does not yet see our redemption, because our bodies have not yet been redeemed. Rom 8:23 Col 1:15-20 Col 1:15-20 is our glorious song of praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. In Col 1:15-17, we have God the Son in relation to the original creation. He is presented as the Son in the Godhead. While in Col 1:18-20, we have God the Son incarnate: God in the flesh. He is presented as the head of the body, the church – the new creation. 2Co 5:17 In verse 18 He is called the firstborn from the dead. This refers to the bodily resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, the God-man. Christ is presented in His deity as supreme over the original creation. Christ is presented in His humanity and deity as supreme over the new creation. Col 1:20 He is the incarnate God who bore our sins in His body on the cross (1Pe 2:24). Col 1:18 Christ is the head of the body, the church. In Ephesians, Paul calls this a great mystery. Eph 3:1-12 Take a concordance and read all the passages in the gospel of John and the epistles about LOVE and LOVED. |
