People often want to know who Jesus is but find Him obscured by the church, whose task is to proclaim Him. Pointing us to Christ, Alistair Begg unpacks the apostle Paul’s description of God’s only Son. Jesus, Paul explained, is the head of the church, responsible for leading and caring for His body. He is also the beginning, the firstborn of the dead, bringing new life in the Spirit and reconciling all things to God. This is the Jesus we are to proclaim.
15iHe is the image of jthe invisible God, kthe firstborn of all creation. 16For by6 him all things were created, lin heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether mthrones or ndominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created othrough him and for him. 17And phe is before all things, and in him all things qhold together. 18And rhe is the head of the body, the church. He is sthe beginning, tthe firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19For uin him all the vfullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20and wthrough him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, xmaking peace yby the blood of his cross.
