What can Jesus do for you? | Against the Tide

Colossians 1:15-23 Jesus can and does make a tremendous difference in our life, however, we have to accept him first. In Paul’s time, many people felt forsaken by God; their local gods seem so impotent before the might of Rome and its vast growing empire. Paul called Christ “the image of the invisible God” (v15). It was in Christ that God was able to clarify people’s expectations as to who God was. What they see is a redeemer, a God of mercy and love.
