Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
He is BEFORE all things.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
Joh 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
In beginning.
Was the Word.
The Word was WITH God.
The Word WAS God.
God and God together.
God the word- would become the Son of God the Father, begotten by the Father. Chosen to be the SPIRITUAL image of the Father God. Chosen to be the FIRST of all to come. Chosen as the Promised ONE. Creator of ALL things in heaven and in earth- visible and invisible. Created FOR and BY Him. Without HIM NOTHING we know would exist, not one single thing. He is not only our Savior, but our Creator.
Col 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.
In ALL THINGS HE might have PREEMINENCE. God in flesh. The firstborn from the dead- truly the first born in a world that had fulfilled the promise of a Savior to come. The head of the body- the church. The head of God's people.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell
Praise God the FATHER!
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Made PEACE through the BLOOD of HIS CROSS. His Sacrifice brought peace everlasting to a world hopelessly lost in sin. His death brought peace not only here but in heaven ALL THINGS are reconciled to HIM-to His perfect PEACE.
Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Perfect peace is only found in our Savior, no where else. We will be reconciled to our Savior, He died to make this possible.
This amazing sacrifice made by those who had the power to simply erase us all as a failed experiment. God almost did just that.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Gen 6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
He'd made a promise to the newly fallen humans remember-
Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The only way Noah could find grace in the eyes of the Lord was if there existed grace to find. The promise of One who would destroy the father of lies , the promise of His being able to bruise the head of the serpent. That promise was given to us so we might know the very thing that had introduced us to evil would be done away with by the ONE who would intervene, the ONE who would be God's. Grace would be possible, the One whose heel would be bruised would LIVE. This promise made grace possible for Noah. The world would NOT be destroyed the fight between good and evil would go on until the promise was fulfilled.
Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. One person in all those wicked upon the earth whose heart was God's. ONE person prevented humanity's annihilation through the promise made before the world was formed, that should things go bad, a Savior would be needed.
Our Savior would make peace possible through His blood sacrifice, all for US undeserving ones, all by HIS grace, all through HIS love.
