Who Is Jesus? Understanding Colossians 1:15

Many people are confused about who Jesus really is. Some call Him a teacher, prophet, or exalted being—but not God. Colossians 1:15 is often used to deny His divinity, yet when we read the passage carefully, it reveals the opposite. The apostle Paul proclaims the eternal greatness of the Son of God, the One who made all things and rules over all.

Was Jesus the First Creation of God? Colossians 1:15 Explained

This video explores one of the most misunderstood verses in the Bible—Colossians 1:15: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.” Some use this text to claim that Jesus is a created being. But Scripture shows that “firstborn” means highest in rank and authority, not first in time. Jesus is the Creator Himself, the visible image of the invisible God.

Drawing from Colossians, John, Hebrews, and Isaiah, the teaching demonstrates that the Bible consistently presents Jesus as Yahweh—the eternal Son who made all things, upholds all things, and entered His creation to save it. He is before all, and in Him all things hold together.

If you have ever wondered who Jesus truly is, this passage answers clearly: He is the eternal God made visible, the Creator and Redeemer, worthy of all trust and worship.
