Poetry reveals what's between the lines, and the poetic verses in Colossians 1 help us remember the wonder of God, pointing us toward the supremacy and centrality of Jesus as the divine portrait of the invisible God.


• Jesus is the "divine portrait" (eikon) of the invisible God, countering Gnostic teachings
• Christ created all things, holds all things together, and reconnects us to God
• Through Jesus, God sees believers as "holy, flawless, and restored"
• Our identity in Christ isn't just about forgiveness but a complete change of status
• The supremacy of Christ means he bridges our old life and new life in him
• Every broken piece of the universe finds proper place and harmony through Christ
