Sermon Notes
Date: 12/29/2024
Preacher: Josh Peglow, pastor
Series: Colossians
Key Text: Colossians 1:15-20
Description:
“For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.”
— Colossians 1:16
Heaven and earth. Visible and invisible. They’re not just a poetic way of communicating; they’re a powerful way of expressing totality.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow continues with our study in the book of Colossians, where we see Paul masterfully and artistically describe Christ using merisms: a style in which, by contrasting extremes, the communicator is able to more completely express a level of comprehensiveness… of wholeness — from the very ends, to all points in between.
This is critical as Paul lays a necessary foundation about Christ in the first part of his letter to the people of Colossae. It’s a foundation that paints a breathtaking picture of the Lord Jesus Christ’s supremacy and centrality to all of creation.
For he is not just saying that Christ is significant; he is saying that Christ is everything.
