The christ to whom we belong:

By Ben Renich:

At this time, it is important to remember who our Lord and Redeemer is, and one of the best sections of Scripture that describes Him, is this one below:
 
Colossians 1:15-20
 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 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.
17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
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.
19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,
20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
 
This is a beautiful description of Jesus Christ. One which shows Him in His power and glory. We can see Him here and hold this description in our hearts through the most difficult of times.
