--The Supremacy of Christ~

--"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 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. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 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 Cross." [Colossians 1:15-20]~~

Jesus being the Son of God implies that He is equal with God the Father. The Apostle John stated that Jesus “said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God” (John 5:18). Jesus said, “I and My Father are one” (John 10:30). Fully understanding this truth would be impossible with our finite minds, but God’s Word reveals a great deal about this topic. Remember, "Without faith it is impossible to please God." (Hebrews 11:6) "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)

For instance, the Bible states that the Father is the Creator (Ephesians 3:9), and it also declares God’s powerful and eternal attributes (Revelation 11:17; Psalm 90:2). Then in Colossians 1:15–16, Paul writes about Jesus being the image of God, and hence, the Creator. Now, in verse 17, Paul continues to describe Jesus and His power.

Since Jesus is the Creator, He “is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” As Paul wrote in Colossians 1:16, Jesus created all things—the invisible and visible things. Therefore, Jesus is before all things in existence, and in His power He upholds all things. In other words, Jesus is eternal and all-powerful. These attributes of Jesus are continually declared and magnified in passages such as the following:

". . . who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:3)

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8)

These passages of Scripture give us a taste of how the Son is equal with the Father. Even death could not stop the almighty Lord who is also “the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). As we read Scripture, we must keep in mind Jesus’ unending, powerful attributes.

As the Creator, Jesus also knows all things. For example, Jesus even knew the thoughts of the scribes (Matthew 9:4) and the whereabouts of Nathanael prior to meeting him (John 1:48). Through Jesus Christ, believers have salvation, and when we get to heaven, we can look forward to learning more from an all-knowing, all-powerful, and eternal God!~~~/ INDESCRIBABLE! / C.Tomlin
