He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Colossians 1:15-20

Who is this Child, this one born of a virgin to redeem man? Who is this remarkable Child? Paul gives us a glimpse of the incredible nature of this one born to us. When you look at the Child, what do you see? Do you see an infant who is helpless or do you see God Himself – creator and sustainer of all? Read though this portion of Paul’s letter to the brothers in Colosse. When you see this Child, you see God’s redemption plan in action.
