Colossians 1:15-20 is referred to as a Christ hymn, possibly sung by the early church as a song of praise for Christ’s supremacy. Rich Little
I stumbled across this video created by Imago Dei. It’s only in the past 100 years or so that many folks read, rather than heard, the Bible’s words. Now, millennials in the Western world are less apt to hear or read the Bible than previous generations.
What do you hear when these verses are spoken? I hear God, in Christ, is more than I can put into words. He’s first, he’s exalted, and he’s the stuff that holds it all together. Because of Him, all other things fall into the proper place.

I admire faith. I have less enthusiasm for dogma. Unfortunately, it seems to me that we have too much of the latter and too little of the former.
But I admire your faith and how it has inspired your works.

Faith, as you put it, is to be admired. But more than admired, I find it to be the wellspring of my life. I wish you well on your own journey toward the invisible God.

Those words embody why I feel free to turn lose of my fear and put my faith in him. And why I look forward to every day when I can exercise that faith and grow in his word, knowing that I will still be thirsty for what he brings to me each hour.

Thanks, Steve, for your words. I loved this segment from Imago Dei. The power of God’s words cannot be denied, can they?
