Jesus Christ
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.” — Colossians 1:15–16
Jesus Christ is the central figure of all Scripture. The Old Testament points forward to Him; the New Testament reveals Him. He is fully God and fully man — the eternal Son who took on human flesh to redeem a fallen world.
