Who is Christ?

The paragraph title in my Bible before Colossians 1:13-23 says "The Incomparable Christ." How can we define Christ and who He is? Incomparable would certainly be one way to describe Christ! My own words would fail. How would we begin to know the Incomparable? Thankfully, Scripture is sure and faithful to tell us who Christ is. We love and serve a God who desires to be known if we will draw near to Him. This passage is packed with answers to the question "Who is Christ?" I fear even beginning to list what is found here because this devotional would become very lengthy! In a nutshell Christ is God Incarnate, Creator, Head of the Church and Reconciler of All.

As a new year begins I hope that each one of us can say we know who Christ is more then we did a year ago. I hope that this year He will reveal Himself to each of us each day and that we would know Christ more by this year's end! As you read your Bible look for the answer to this question. As you observe Him working in your daily life recognize who He is. Thank Him that He can be known to us. We will not know Him fully until we see Him face to face but let's know Him as deeply as we can. Let's also be sure we are committed to knowing Christ biblically. What does Scripture say? It can not be said enough that we know God more fully as we spend time in the Word. We live in a day when everyone will answer the question "Who is Christ?" in very different ways. Some answers are far from the Truth. Let us be careful then to know how to rightly answer.

...you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. Deut. 5:29 NASB

"but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice, and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:24 NASB
