—Colossians 1:15-20
by: Linda Harris.
Jesus represented the fullness of humankind and the fullness of God (v. 19). This concept boggles our minds; but then, much about God is beyond our understanding. There will be things that remain secret until we are made complete (Deuteronomy 29:29; 1 Corinthians 13:12).
The important concept to glean from this passage is that Christ is God's image, having created all things and holding all things together by his power. Notice how many times Paul used the word "all." Christ is omnipotent, having power over everything.
