The Supremacy of Christ

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 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. 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. 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.
(Colossians 1:15-20 ESV)

Quotes about the Bible (Part 7)

"After reading the doctrines of Plato, Socrates, or Aristotle, we feel that the specific difference between their words and Christ's is the difference between an inquiry and a revelation."
Joseph Park (1830-1902)
English Congregationalist Preacher and Bible Commentator

"Have your eyes ever been opened to see the glorious excellency of Jesus Christ? Has the light of the Word of God ever shined into your hearts so as to see the excellency of the Word that teaches Christ and the way of Salvation by him? Has the Word of Christ been sweeter to you than the honey on the honeycomb?"
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758)
American Theologian
"What is Meant by Believing in Christ"
1752 Sermon to Mohawk Indians

"The Bible has been so many words to us -- clouds and darkness -- then all of a sudden the words become spirit and full of life because Jesus re-speaks them to us in a particular condition. That is the way God speaks to us, not by visions and dreams, but by words. When a man gets to God it is by the most simple way of words."
Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)
Scottish Evangelist and Writer
"My Utmost For His Highest"
