1:15 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.
If you’re ever curious about what the point of life is and why things were created in the first place, Pastor John’s message today directs you to the fact that it’s all about Jesus. Jesus was there at the beginning. He was magnified in heaven, glorified through His death and resurrection, and He’s the best thing this world could ever hope for. As you listen today, keep your eyes and your attention on Jesus as the One who has earned all the glory and honor for what He’s done and Who He is.
Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Colossians chapter 1 as he begins his message, “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus.”
