Line By Line - Jesus Logos of God

Line By Line: Jesus, the Logos of God (Colossians 1:16–17)

Join Pastor Josh Hawkins for this week’s session of Line By Line as we dive deep into Colossians 1:16–17 and explore the profound hymn to the glory of Christ [00:17].

In this study, we unpack what it truly means that Jesus is the Creator, the Word, and the Logos of God [16:35]. Why was it so radical and controversial for Paul, a former Pharisee, to proclaim a fully human man as the Creator of the universe [04:16]? How does John’s presentation of the Logos intersect with ancient Greek philosophy, and how does Christ stand as the divine blueprint, sustainer, and logic holding all of reality together [18:42]?

Grab your Bible, open to Colossians 1, and join us as we gaze into the wonder of the Incarnation [09:21]!
