Lately, I've been hearing much talk over who Jesus is, 
what His purpose is,why we should believe in Him, and
why we should follow Him.
Well, I'm here to declare that 
Jesus Christ IS Lord of Lords and King of Kings! 
 He IS our Savior!
He gave His life for us so that we may have forgiveness
 of our sins and life everlasting...
He reconciled us to the Father, God Almighty.

I want to share with you a passage from Colossians where 
the Apostle Paul was speaking to the people of Colosse 
concerning the Person and Work of Christ.
These verses are taken from The Good News New Testament 
using Today's English Version.

I believe they hold true for us today.
May the Lord give you fresh insight
and understanding as you read His Word.
 

Colossians 1:15-23
Christ is the visible likeness of the invisible God.
 He is the firstborn Son, superior to all created things.
 
16 Forthrough Him God created everything in heaven and on earth, 
the seen and the unseen things, including spiritual powers,
lords, rulers, and authorities. 
God created the whole universe through Him and for Him.

17 Christ existed before all things, and in union with Him 
all things have their proper place.

18 He is the head of His body, the church; He is the source of the body's life. 
He is the first born Son, who was raised from death, in order that 
He alone might have the first place in all things.

19 For it was by God's own decision that the Son has in Himself 
the full nature of God.
 
20 Through the Son, then, God decided to bring the whole universe 
back to Himself. God made peace through His Son's blood on the cross 
and so brought back to Himself all things both on earth and in heaven.
 
21 At one time you were far away from God and were His enemies 
because of the evil things you did and thought.

 22 But now, by means of the physical death of His Son, 
God has made you friends, in order to bring you, holy, pure,
and faultless, into His presence. 

23 You must of course,continue faithful on a firm and sure foundation, 
and must not allow yourselves to be shaken from the hope you gained 
when you heard the  gospel. It is of this gospel that I, Paul became a 
servant-this gospel which has been preached to everybody in the world.
