Today we are reading Colossians 1. In this chapter we read about the identity of Jesus. “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And 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, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” Colossians 1:15-20 ESV How does knowing Jesus’ true identity encourage your faith? The fact that Jesus is true man and true God. Both are significant. True man means He fulfilled the requirement to pay for our sins with death. True God means that was a perfect and unblemished sacrifice for our sins. May God bless you with joy that Jesus died for you! Pastor Tim
