Christ....seing the invisible God

Good morning to all!! God is good all the time, all the time God is good!! As we studied yesterday in Bible study, some things jumped out at me and I would like to share. This is very simple, but sometimes we don't "see" the simple in it's "simple form."
Colossians 1:15 "WHO IS THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD, THE FIRSTBORN OF EVERY CREATURE:"
The image expresses Christ's deity in relation to the Father; it is the very stamp of God as He was before the incarnation. The work is not form but IMAGE!!!The invisible God became visible in Christ: deity was clothed with numanity, deity under some human limitations. Christ in God: visible, audible, apporachable, knowable, and available. All that God is, Christ is.
The first-born of every creature. This expresses Chrsit's deity and sovereignty in relation to creation. Christ was the first-born, not the first created. First-born signifies priority in time. First speaks of His preexistence, what He was from eternity. He was before all creation; not a part of creation, but apart from creation. He is not a creature, but the Creator.
Second, this speaks of the supremacy of His position. He is the self-existent, acknowledged Head of creation. And, third, this speaks of being recognized as the Messiah (Ps 89:27). So we have declared the eternity, the sovereignty, and the lordship of Christ.
This read to me in a totally different light and touched me. I hope and pray it did as well for you. Thank you for reading. Love you all!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
