It's all Greek To Me: Jesus Over Everything - Pastor Christopher Coats

Paul’s letter to the Colossians reminds us that Jesus is not just important; He is preeminent. Like the sun at the center of the solar system, Christ holds all things together. Without Him, life flies apart. With Him, everything has order and purpose. Paul writes to counter false teachings in Colossae that emphasized rules, rituals, and spiritual beings while neglecting Christ. He declares instead that Jesus is supreme over creation, the church, the believer’s life, and all things. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God, through whom everything was made. He is the head of the church, reconciling us by His blood on the cross. For believers, He is our true north, our life, our center, our peace. And He is Lord over all we do: work, family, service, and worship. The message is clear: Do not add to Jesus or subtract from Him. He is enough. When Christ is at the center, everything else falls into place. We are invited to live daily with Him as Lord, letting His word dwell in us richly, His love bind us together, and His peace rule our hearts. Truly, Jesus is over everything.
