21 - A Hymn About Christ in Colossians
Series Colossians 1: Christ Above All
185
In the original Greek, Colossians 1:15-20 are in the form of poetry. Many scholars think that these verses were actually used as an early Christian hymn. It is a hymn that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ as
• the very image of God
• the firstborn over all creation
• the creator of the universe
• the head of the Church
• the firstborn from among the dead
• the fullness of God dwelling in a body
• the reconciler of all things
These verses form the most doctrinally-packed passage about our Lord and Savior in the entire Word of God.
How does this hymn to Christ compare with the praise and worship songs of the 21st-century contemporary church? That question is our focus this week as we continue our series, Christ Above All: Studies in Colossians.
