The reality is that Christ trumps
everything. All scripture testiﬁes of
him. The Father exults him. The Spirit
magniﬁes him. The angels worship him.
The early church knew him as her
passion, her message, and the unction
of her life. Christ was her speciality. He
was her bridegroom and head. She
specialised in nothing else.
The Jesus Manifesto


Colossians 1:15-20

The Supremacy of the Son of God
The Preeminence of Christ


the number of times Paul
refers to Christ in the ﬁrst
chapter of Colossians


The New Testament writers were totally
consumed with Christ. He was their
message, their teaching, their
proclamation, their very life. And
everything else ﬂowed out of intimate
fellowship with him.
The Jesus Manifesto


Verse 15 He is the image of the invisible
God, the ﬁrstborn of all creation.


Verse 16-17 For by him all things were
created, in heaven and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or
rulers or authorities—all things were
created through him and for him. And he is
before all things, and in him all things hold
together.


Verse 18 And he is the head of the
body, the church. He is the beginning,
the ﬁrstborn from the dead, that in
everything he might be preeminent.

Verse 19-20 For in him all the fullness of
God was pleased to dwell, and through him
to reconcile to himself all things, whether
on earth or in heaven, making peace by the
blood of his cross.


Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon ﬂamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

“The old cross is a symbol of death. It
stands for the abrupt, violent end of a
human being. In Roman times, the man
who took up his cross and started
down the road was not coming back.
He was not going out to have his life
re-directed. He was going out to have
it ended.”
A.W. Tozer


Revelation 2:5-6

But I have this against you, that you have
abandoned the love you had at ﬁrst.
A Reminder
Remember therefore from where you
have fallen; repent, and do the works you
did at ﬁrst. If not, I will come to you and
remove your lampstand from its place,
unless you repent.


Revelation 2:5-6

unless you repent.


When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart


I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart


I'm coming back to the heart of
worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've
made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus


King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath


I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart


Make Christ the
centre.


Make Christ the

Make him the
circumference.


Make Christ the

Make him the

And ﬁll in the
difference with him
as well.

This is taken from
The Jesus Manifesto
by Sweet and Viola


the mystery of God is this...
that the one who is the invisible
image of God;
the one in whom all the fulness of
the Godhead dwells;
the one who is the living residence
of the Trinity;


the one in whom eternity lives,
breathes and has its being;
the one who is before time;
the A to Z, alpha and omega,
beginning and end;
the ﬁrstborn of the created
universe, who rose from the dead
never to die again;


the conqueror of death, sin and
the grave;
the creator, redeemer, saviour and
forgiver;
the one who holds all creation
together in himself;
the one who is the power of glory
and might;


the head, authority and source of
the church;
the one through whom and for
whom all things were created;
the one in whom all things ﬁnd
their meaning and reality;
the one who reconciled all things
in heaven and earth to God;


the one who nailed to his bloody
cross every law, every rule, and
every regulation that would
condemn the beloved people of
God;
the one who is supreme in every
realm and holds the ﬁrst place in all
things - the Son of the Fathers love;


the one whose signiﬁcance is
unmatched in human history;
the one who holds the title deed
to the universe...


this glorious, limitless, amazing,
incredible, expansive,
incomparable, marvelous,
stunning, staggering, majestic,
mighty, matchless, spectacular,
outstanding, tremendous, inﬁnite...


...vast, grand, triumphant,
victorious, precious, radiant,
peerless, wonderful, magniﬁcent
Christ has chosen to place all of
his fullness where?


Inside of you!
