What a powerful verse! Christ is the image of the invisible God. The Children’s catechism teaches us that “God is a spirit and does not have a body like man”, yet God became man in the person of Jesus Christ. He took on flesh to be our Savior. He is also the firstborn over all creation. Jesus is eternal God, yet in order or status of creation, He is the highest of all because He is the God Man. The firstborn was the one who inherited the Father’s possessions. All of Creation is Christ’s by virtue of who He is as God’s beloved Son. We praise God because of His love for us that paid the price of our sin. He pursued us even when we were in our sin so that we, by His grace, might be His now. Praise God for His great love for you!
