Colossians 1.15-20

11/9/2022

One of the things that Paul does in this section of Scripture is clarify some things about Jesus. Keep in mind that when I say “clarify”, I don’t mean “to make completely understandable”. In fact, some of the things that Paul claims here about Jesus are beyond our comprehension. However, he does state some things pretty clearly here, with little room for confusion on what he means.
