Colossians 1:15-20 Sermon: The Great King Has Been Born!

The true meaning of Christmas revolves around the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as emphasized in Colossians 1:15-20, where Paul proclaims Jesus as supreme over creation, the church, and salvation. Jesus, the image of the invisible God, reveals God's nature, sustains creation, and reconciles sinners through His death on the cross, making Him the sole source of salvation. Despite cultural misunderstandings and frustrations with the holiday, believers are called to rejoice in Jesus' Lordship, recognize their purpose to glorify Him, and uphold His supremacy in their lives and the church. Ultimately, Christmas celebrates Jesus' role as King, Creator, Savior, and Head of the Church, deserving our worship and obedience.
