Christ Over All: Our Supreme Lord and Sufficient Savior

Of all the Bible's teaching about Jesus Christ, none is more significant than Colossians 1.

In this powerful chapter, Paul proclaims the staggering truth that Jesus Christ is the perfect, absolutely accurate image of God. The eternal God in flesh, He is the exact likeness of God, reflecting God's attributes as the sun's light reflects the sun. In Christ, the invisible God became visible, and we saw His glory.

Taken from the MacArthur New Testament Commentary, this book equips believers with transforming truth by showing how Christ is:

• Preeminent as God eternal
• Creator of all things
• Supreme over both the physical and spiritual realm
• Head of the church
• Fully Sufficient for believers' redemption and reconciliation

This dramatic and powerful passage removes any doubt or confusion over Jesus' true identity.
