Colossians 1 Summary

Colossians 1 exalts Christ as supreme over all creation and the head of the church, in whom we are reconciled to God.

Paul gives thanks for the Colossians’ faith and prays for their growth, then lifts up Christ: ‘the image of the invisible God,’ through whom all things were made.

In Christ all things hold together; he is head of the church, and through his cross God reconciled all things, presenting believers holy.
