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.

-Colossians 1:15-20

This is a really cool passage of scripture.  Jesus, "his beloved Son", is the one "in whome we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins".  Paul now goes in some great and beautiful detail about Jesus.  I think it's silly for people who deny the deity of Christ to look at this passage and think it supports their case.  Unfortunately, they will continue to do so and it's sad.  Regardless, let us see him for who he truly is and glorify him all the more.  I really do enjoy this passage and thank God for him and his word.  I'll continue on next time going into detail about the different parts of this passage.
