Celebrating Christ

The Promised Redeemer Has Come

Colossians 1:15-20

"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."

I have been spending a lot of time in Colossians lately and I really love these verses.  Christ is preeminent and before all things!  Christ's death and resurrection, which we celebrate this weekend, is what gives us hope and was the event that forever changed the world.  The peace we have because of the cross is our only hope, and we wait in anticipation for his second return when he will reconcile all things to himself for the rest of eternity!  Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again!
