TIME IS CHRIST FILLED

Colossians 1:18

"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." ESV

Christ was born into time, although he existed in eternity. He went before us through death and resurrection so that He would be the first to be resurrected to eternal life. Christ is the first, above all, surpassing all, and superior to all.

Heavenly Father, we stand in need of the Holy Spirit to help us even begin to understand just how majestic and all encompassing our God is. Help us to take time to be still in Your presence that we might know more of Your most awesome nature. We pray in Your Son's name, Amen.

HIS INVISIBLE IMAGE

The divine nature of Christ was invisible to humanity just as the
divine nature of God the Father is invisible. Jesus Christ is the
image of God the Father. He is the perfect representation of the
Father. Jesus Christ is first over all creation and holds the position
and privilege of being God's Son. Is it any wonder that we will spend
eternity praising and worshipping Him.

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation."
(NIV)

"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature."
(KJV)
