This is now the third message in a series, in which we’re looking at Paul’s Colossian letter. What I hope we will see, even more than the evidence FOR Jesus, is the result of a life WITH Jesus and what it means for us as a community. Jesus IS molding and shaping this community, Jesus is molding and shaping you—whether you know it or not, and whether you like it or not—into the person you were created to be.
Last week, we looked at the way in which Jesus is and can be for us personally the central figure around which our lives can turn. Paul uses this beautiful theological phrase that Jesus is the image of the invisible God—which means, if you want to know what God looks like, look at Jesus. Jesus is the firstborn of creation, and it’s on this point that we’re going to delve more deeply today.
When the disciple women came to the tomb that first Easter only to find it empty, what they experienced was the first example, as John, the writer of Revelation says, of God making all things new. Resurrection, new creation began on Easter, and that’s what we are going to build upon today.
