JESUS IS THE Christ
Jesus Is The Christ
Introduction
Greetings Brothers and Sisters grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and His Son and the Holy Spirit. If I had the opportunity to preach to all under heaven, Jesus would be my sermon. It is the message that makes the messenger, Amen !. Jesus is the message. Lord God help me at this time to share your word concerning the preeminence of Christ. Bless the hearts of all who read this message and for those who don’t know Jesus, open their hearts and the eyes of their understanding so that they may learn of Him who gave His life, thank you Lord in Jesus name I pray Amen.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: ( Col 1:15,16).
Creator
Jesus is the visible representation of the invisible God. When we get dressed in the morning and we groom ourselves, we look in the mirror at our image. The image we see is a reflected image. This is not so with Jesus, He is not a reflected image. He is the image, Jesus told Phillip, Have I been with you so long, and yet you do not know, He who has seen me has seen the Father. Jesus is the exact visible and physical representation of God. If you could see the Father He would look just like Jesus. He created all things, everything came into being through Him. Without Him, nothing exists that didn’t come into existence through Him. Everything in heaven and everything on earth and everything in the vast universe, everything visible and everything invisible. He caused everything to come into existence, Nothing caused Him to exist. He is the uncaused cause that caused all things to come into being. All things were created by Him for Him, Amen!
And He is before all things, and in Him, all things consist.
Christ Has always existed, there was never a time in eternity past that Christ did not exist. When there was nothing made in eternity past, visible or invisible there is Christ. Before He made anything He Is, I Am. He holds everything together by His great power. Look at the universe, it is by intelligent design. Everything in the universe works exactly the way God designed it. The milky way Galaxy operates exactly and with precision the way God designed it. The earth is position exactly the right distance from the sun to sustain all life on earth. This is not by chance, Christ is almighty God, and He sustains all life on earth by the divine power of His might. Could you imagine what would happen If Christ wasn’t sustaining the orbit of the earth? I don’t want to think about it.
And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence(Col 1:18).
In eternity past God decided that to save the human race He would send His Son, Born of a woman born under the law to redeem those who were sold by sin. Jesus the Son of God refused to use His power to save Himself. He remained obedient and took on the humiliation, and shameful death on the cross. God exerted great power and raised Him from the dead. Because of his selfless act of love for all humanity, God exalted Him Jesus the God-man, above all creation, the firstborn from among the dead. And gave Him a name above every name. That at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow that which is in heaven, that which is on earth and that which is under the earth. Jesus is preeminent, the first person to be raised from the dead, unto eternal life to never die again. He is the Head of the Church which is His body. He is the Head of the New world order. Until Christ comes back we all must enter into eternity the same way.
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, ( Col 1:19).
It pleased God that all of the divine nature the majesty, power, and the goodness of God should be manifested in the man-God Christ Jesus, Amen. and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross(Col 1:20). Through Jesus God provided a way to reconcile the relationship between God and man. A relationship that was in a state of enmity, a relationship that was in full rebellion against God. Through the blood of Christ God provided a way for humanity to be at peace with God. God could have destroyed us all and yet because He loves us so much he sent His Son to save us.
21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight( Col 1:21,22).
We were all alienated from God, we were all enemies of God. We didn’t think anything of God, we didn’t respect God, we didn’t love God, we didn’t know God. In our minds, we only had evil thoughts and works continually all the time. But God has reconciled us in the body of His Sons’, flesh through His death, to present you and me holy, and blameless, In His sight. When God sees us, it is not us that He see, It is Christ. Because of what Jesus did for us on the cross, God forgives us when we place our trust in Him. Do you trust Jesus? It is only by faith in Christ that you can receive Gods’ forgiveness and the gift of eternal life. All you have to do is believe in Jesus and the work that He has done. God bless you, friends.
