INTRODUCTION TO COLOSSIANS Jesus is God – Colossians 1:15 Haiti Team – Part 2 (March 2, 2014)

Colossians 1: And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.

John 17:3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. Matthew 16:15–16 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. What does “image” of invisible God mean?

2 Corinthians 4:4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Philippians 2:5–6 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped…

Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. What does “firstborn” of creation mean Primogenitor – Legal executor of estate and equal to the Father… John 5:16-23 Jesus is Primogenitor John 14:8-11 Jesus is Primogenitor

2 Peter 1:3–4 3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

John 6:35–37 35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.
