It isnt easy to find a topic about which you can absolutely say this cannot be overstated but we have one such topic, actually several topics in our text this evening. Colossians 1:15-23 reads: 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross. 21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister. See what I mean? A simple read through this series of absolute statements shows that knowing them and their importance cannot be overstated. Some of these theological matters are under assault and are being questioned by people professing Christianity in our world today. These are important matters and we must know what Scripture teaches so we can know what it is we are to believe and defend. We study this section tonight and I, for one, cannot wait to dive in. We meet at 7:00 p.m. PST and we also live stream.
