Colossians 1 v 15-20 are some of the most magnificent verses about the Lord Jesus anywhere in the Bible. In Him, we have the fullness of God. In Him, we have the Lord of all creation. In Him, we have resurrection from the dead, reconciliation with God the Father, a brand new church family and a new world to look forward to. Heaven has no more to give! But these verses also lay down a challenge. Is Jesus truly Lord in every area of our lives or, in practice, do we have rival authorities which still hold away over us? Listen again to be challenged and encouraged by this soaring vision of Jesus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIcFal1OmJs
