He reveals God to us. Paul says he is the “image” of the invisible God. The word “image” is eikon in the Greek, which means “an exact representation and revelation,”2 and ...
“The firstborn over 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” (Col. 1:15–17). Paul then makes the argument that not only should Ch...

He said that the fullness of God dwells in him, and in verse 20 he adds “and through him to reconcile to himself all things.” Essentially, Paul is saying Christ is sufficient for salvation and ...

Christ should be exalted because he is the firstborn whom God has given all the rights and privileges. 1. He is firstborn because he is the creator. He is th...
Here is the key to Christ’s being glorified in every way: by Paul’s being “supplied” the Spirit of Jesus Christ himself, who will live powerfully through Paul as he stands trial. At the same time, from such a phrase and its close relationship with the prayer of the believing community, one learns a great deal about Paul’s own spiritual life and his understanding of the role of the ...
The Christ who suffered is the exalted one. Christ’s exaltation has great benefit and significance for those who follow Him. Paul wrote to Timothy about what it takes for a person to follow Christ. We will be subject to great suffering and persecution in this world for the sake of Christ (2 Timothy 3:12).
Paul knows Christ, but he wants to know him ever more deeply and intimately, and sees this as of "surpassing greatness" (Philippians 3:8; Isaiah 11:9; Jeremiah 31:34; Hosea 6:3). Paul compares his zeal to know Christ to running in a race, not looking back, but straining forward toward the finish line (Philippians 3:13).
Apr 16, 2020 · When Paul calls Christ the firstborn what he means is that Christ has all of the rights of a firstborn child.

To call Christ the firstborn of all creation was to say that Christ has a claim on all of creation because as the “firstborn” of God, all of creation is Christ’s inheritance 1 .
