All About Jesus
March 20, 2020

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities, all things were created through Him and for Him. And 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, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent. For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross. —Colossians 1:15-20

The disciples woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t You care that we’re going to drown? Who is this Man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey Him!” —Mark 4:38,41

Read the story of the alarmed disciples when Jesus calmed the storm in Mark 4.

1. Jesus is God.

Everything was created through Him; not one thing came into being without Him. —John 1:3

He is…upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. —Hebrews 1:3

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. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in His sight without blemish and free from accusation. —Colossians 1:19-22

He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. —Colossians 1:20

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast. —Ephesians 2:8,9

3. Jesus is the Lord, and we are His servants.

“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” —John 10:10
