wÒHe is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on
earth, visible and invisible É all things have
been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold
together.Ó – Colossians 1:15-17
wÒGod was pleased to have all His fulness dwell in Him, and through Him to
reconcile to Himself all things É making peace
through His blood, shed on the cross.Ó –
Colossians 1:19-20
