Who Jesus Is
In Acts 9 Saul, soon to become Paul, is bashed off his horse by a brilliant
light. "Who are you Lord," he asks? "I am Jesus," boomed the answer.
And so Paul began an incredible journey to find out everything he could
about this Jesus. Years later in a letter to the Colossians he told them who
he discovered Jesus was. His description of Jesus in chapter one is
unsurpassed in superlatives.
This is what he wrote. Jesus is the image of the invisible God. Do you want
to know what God is like? Look at Jesus. Everything in the universe was
created by Him. Visible things, invisible things, birds, angels, powers,
authorities, anything you can name He was before it all. Not only did He
make it He maintains it. He was supreme in the beginning and will be
supreme in the end. He will lead the redeemed and the resurrected through
the universe. He conquered death for Himself and will do so for us. He is so
big everything is encompassed by His mind. He will fix all the things that
are broken by sin. Everything will again vibrate in harmony. All the
fullness of God lives in Jesus. No longer should we look at the distorted
pictures of God written by those who lived before Jesus. From now on look
at Jesus and we will know who and what God is.
All of this from the pen of a man who once murdered Christians and in verse
23 Paul proclaims himself to the messenger of this amazing God who died
for us and lives for us.
