Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross.
So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me. (Colossians 1:15-20, 28-29 NLT)
I don’t know who reads my journals. I don’t know who reads the tweets and Facebook posts. It may be all people who believe in Jesus Christ, but maybe there are some who don’t as well. Jesus has done amazing things for me and my family, and I will serve Him all of my life. Paul and Timothy writing to the church of Colosse share the truth of who Jesus is clearly, and why I serve Him the way I do. I am not sure I could explain it any better.
So, if you have questions about why I am believer in Jesus Christ. If you have questions about why I am Pastor. I am happy to answer as best I can. But I want you to know I passionately believe that Jesus Christ is my Savior, and I am thankful that He made peace with everything in heaven and earth by the shedding of Jesus’ blood and His dying on the cross.
