Jesus is Supreme

Human beings have always had a hard time valuing life and the various aspects of life the way that they are intended to be valued. From the very beginning, as recorded in the book of Genesis, people messed up the world based on a faulty value system.

Adam and Eve didn’t see eye to eye with the value that God put on the trees of the garden and did what they wanted. Cain didn’t concur with God’s evaluation of his offering, got mad at Abel and killed him. The angels and people before the flood valued things differently than God. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah disagreed with God’s value system. The list could go on and on and on through the centuries with more entries being added by the day and by the minute.

Paul wrote the followers of Jesus in the city of Colossae about the value system of God since Jesus’ entrance into human history.

Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through Him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see—such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through Him and for Him. He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together. (Colossians 1:15-17 NLT)

Paul says that Jesus is ‘supreme’ over all creation. Jesus is higher on the value system than anything or anyone else. He is ‘supreme’ over things ‘we can see and things we can’t see.’ Jesus is supreme.

I am so excited about this next teaching series. I’ve been learning more and more everyday about Jesus, the world in which Jesus lived, how He interacted with people, what His heart is and so much more. I can’t wait to tell you about Jesus and help you see Him all the more clearly.

Fall in love with Jesus again!
