What does it mean to follow the real Jesus rather than a Jesus of our own making? In Colossians 1:15–23, Paul gives us a breathtaking portrait of the supremacy of Christ as the Lord over creation, the church, and our salvation. By beholding Christ’s supremacy over all things, we find all the motivation we need to hold onto Christ and to help us persevere to the very end. Why would you ever stop trusting in this Jesus?
