Summary

“Until He Comes: Who Is He?” - Colossians 1:15-20 Focus your attention today on the Lord Jesus Christ - just who is He? What does who He is mean for you? Who is this One who divided history? BC - Before Christ, AD - Anno Domini - “The year of our Lord” Good man? Good teacher? Miracle worker? Friend? We like our Jesus tame, manageable, close but not too close, but a tame, manageable, remote Jesus cannot save, is not Lord. 2012 Theme: Until He Comes - looking for Jesus to come again & living according to that perspective. Until Jesus comes, it is imp that we see Him as He is & respond to Him as Lord. To discover or describe the real Jesus Christ is nearly an impossible task, except that He is revealed in Scripture. Paul combated false teaching which denied the deity of Christ on one hand, and on the other, that the Son of God came in the flesh. Colossians 1:15-20 I)Image of the invisible God - likeness, manifestation - The Son is the only perfect representation of God - John 14:9 II)Firstborn of all creation - priority in time, superiority in rank. He is before all creation - “begotten, not created” III)Agent of creation - through whom all was created (the Father spoke the Word and the Spirit brought form and fullness). “Invisible” - spiritual beings “for Him” - for His glory, under His control IV)Before all - pre-existent, supreme Lord Clayton Blackstone quote: “There is absolutely nothing about which Jesus doesn’t rightly say, ‘This is Mine, this belongs to Me.’” V)Agent of Preservation - unifying principle and sustainer of all. VI)Head of the Church - Founder and Lord of the Church. VII)Beginning, Firstborn from the dead - source of life and resurrection - John 11:25-26 - life only in Christ! VIII)Preeminent - supreme over all - Philippians 2:9-11. Herbert Carson - “Lord of creation and Lord of the Church, He must be Lord in the lives of His own, with a sovereignty which brooks no rival.” IX)Fullness of God - completeness, totality - Jesus Christ is God. X)Agent of Reconciliation Reconcile - “bring back into a former state of harmony” (Strong’s). All things - not just mankind, but creation itself - Romans 8:19-23 “The blood of His cross” - Jesus accepted the curse and died in our place. That which/he who is not reconciled will be destroyed. Psalm 2:12 Until Jesus comes, it is imperative that we see Him and worship Him as He is, and surrender to Him as Lord of our lives.
