In the original Greek, Colossians 1:15-20 are in the form of poetry. Many scholars think that these verses were actually used as an early Christian hymn. It is a hymn that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ as
• the very image of God • the firstborn over all creation • the creator of the universe • the head of the Church • the firstborn from among the dead • the fullness of God dwelling in a body • the reconciler of all things
These verses form the most doctrinally-packed passage about our Lord and Savior in the entire Word of God.
How does this hymn to Christ compare with the praise and worship songs of the 21st-century contemporary church? That question is our focus this week as we continue our series, Christ Above All: Studies in Colossians.
