Because Christ is supreme over all creation and has reconciled us to God through His death, we can trust Him, treasure Him, and remain firmly rooted in Him.

• Christ is Supreme Over Creation (v15-17)
  • He is the image of the invisible God
  • He is before all things
  • All things were created through Him and for Him
• Christ is Supreme Over the Church (v18-20)
  • He is the Head of the church
  • He is the beginning
  • He is the firstborn from the dead
  • He is the one in whom all the fullness of God dwells
• Christ is Supreme to Reconcile us to God
  • We were alienated from God
  • We were hostile towards God
  • We were living in evil
  • Christ died for us
  • Christ reconciled us to God
  • Christ presents us holy, blameless, and above reproach ...
