Who Is Jesus?

Main Idea: Since it is only through Jesus Christ the Son of God that we are redeemed and forgiven, it is of utmost importance to know and understand His relation to God, to creation, and to His Church.

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were reated, 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. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 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. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
