Devotion:
Read Colossians 1:15-23.
Jesus in His humanity is the visible revelation of the invisible God. This is a great mystery but it is a truth that has been given to us from the Creator of the universe. The only way for sinful humanity to be reconciled to God is through the death and resurrection of the eternal Son of God. He paid the price for our sins.
The only way to discover the invisible God is through the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the visible image of the invisible God - God in the flesh. The only way to really know our Creator is through His only Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the firstborn over all creation.
The word firstborn does not refer to timeline. The Son is from everlasting to everlasting. The word firstborn refers to His preeminent position in God's creation, His superior standing. Christ is the firstborn over all creation because as the eternal Son of God He was born into humanity as the perfect Son of Man. The Word was made flesh and dwells in us making Him first in significance and first in status. Jesus Christ is first in importance over all His creation, and at the name of Jesus every knee will bow for all creation is subject to His authority. He died so that we might live.
Personal Worship Option:
Thank You God that You sent Your only Son into the world, to become one of us, so that we might be reconciled back to You and be your children and joint heirs with Christ. You gave us the greatest gift and your love is unimaginable. AMEN
