Expositions on Christ Deity.

Colossians 1:15-16

This is one of the strongest statements about the divine nature of Christ found anywhere in the Bible. Jesus is not only equal to God (Philippians 2:6), he is God (John 10:30,38; 12:45;14:1-11).

He not only reflects God, but he reveals God to us (John 1:18, 14:9). He came from heaven, not from dust of the ground (1 Corinthians 15:47), and is Lord of all (Romans 9:5; 10:11-13; Revelation 1:5; 17:14).

He is completely holy (Hebrews 7:26-28; 1Peter1:19; 2:22; 1John3:5), and he has authority to judge the world (Romans 2:16; 2Corinthians 5:10; 2Timothy 4:1). Therefore, he is supreme over all creation, including the spirit world. We, like the Colossian believers, must believe that Jesus is God or our Christian faith is hollow and meaningless.

Thank You!
