Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Wednesday, April 24, 2013 Read – Colossians 1 As we turn now to the book of Colossians we hear more of the witness of Paul. Some have described the picture that Paul paints of Jesus in this letter as the “Cosmic Christ”. Paul sees Jesus as the center of all things – the one who holds the whole creation together (Colossians 1:17). Paul also sees Jesus as the image of the invisible God – Jesus makes God visible. He shares this view with the gospel writer, John.
