The Supremacy of Jesus

The false teaching of Gnosticism tried to dethrone Jesus as King and was likely infiltrating the church at Colossae. The world often recognises Jesus as a good, great, even a prominent man, but denies His supremacy. Jesus created all things and everything exists for Him and is held together by Him. We tend to all want supremacy. We may use different words like success, popularity or wealth. The fruit in our lives is about remaining in Jesus and not moving from the hope held out in the gospel. It is trusting that God has done everything already and He is sufficient for our salvation, for restoring of relationship with Him and for all our needs.
