Holding Together & Making Peace

Holding Together & Making PeaceColossians 1:15-20He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for inhim all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powersall things have been created through him and for him.Colossians 1:15-20He himself is before all things, and inhim all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.Colossians 1:15-20For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross.Creation in Colossians 7 Times the Language Creation or Created is used in the Text. It is the First Born of all Creation, that is the focus of the Text. Christ is not only the First and Gods agent in creation, but also gives coherence to the universe.
