Many of us have a favorite image of Jesus, but how complete is the image you hold?

1. Colossians 1:15-16
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
over all creation. For by Him all things were
created: things in heaven and on earth, visible
and invisible, whether thrones or powers or
rulers or authorities; all things were created by
Him and for Him.

2. Colossians 1:17-18
He is before all things, and in Him all things hold
together. And He is the head of the body, the
church; He is the beginning and the firstborn
from among the dead, so that in everything He
might have supremacy.

3. Colossians 1:19-20
For God was pleased to have all His fullness
dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to
Himself all things, whether things on earth or
things in heaven, by making peace through His
blood, shed on the cross.
