Jesus: Visible Discovery of the Invisible God

Colossians 1:15-20 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by Him, all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether they are kings, lords, rulers, or powers.
All things have been created through Him and for Him.
He Himself existed before anything else did, and He holds all things together.
He is also the head of the body, which is the church.
He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead so that He Himself might have first place in everything.
For God was pleased to have all of His divine essence inhabit Him.
Through the Son, God also reconciled all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, thereby making peace through the blood of His cross.

For by Him, all things in heaven and on earth were created. Coming into the world as Man. His is the glory of the Firstborn because He is the Creator  "from days of eternity." Micah 5:2

The Only Begotten, the one who has made God known to us.

John 1:14 The word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, close to the Father's side, has revealed Him.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:18 He that believes in Him is not condemned, but He that believes not is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Firstborn

Romans 8:29 For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Colossians 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.
Colossians 1:18 and He is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead that in all things He might have the preeminence.
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when He brings in the first begotten into the world, He said, And let all the angels of God worship Him.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth Unto Him that loved us, and was us from our sins in His own blood., and has made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen

He holds all things together

His hand controls the stars and the planets as well as the laws of the universe. How great is His grace, and yet how low did He stoop for our salvation!

Making peace through the blood of His cross

God made His soul an offering for sin and accomplished the great work of redemption for which He came. Having been delivered for our offenses, He was raised again for our justification.

In these verses, the finite mind realizes the inability to comprehend the mysteries of His character. Here is truth to ponder, to stir the soul to worship and thanksgiving. Consider the glory from which Jesus came and the glory that He had with the Father in all eternity in order to bring us into the knowledge of God.

See the glory of this plan for redemption and rejoice in the hope set before us. God's love for us is immense, and I am convinced that I should live more for Him just as He died for me.
