The Supremacy Of Christ In Reconcilation
Col 1:20-23 What comes to mind when you think of the word reconcile? • To make amends • To bring back • To seek forgiveness • To give forgiveness When I think of this word the first thing that comes to mind is.... • The Gospel of Jesus Christ • God’s sacrificial love for fallen sinners like you and me • Salvation and restoration • Fellowship with the One that created us for His glory Reconcile is one of the most important and descriptive words found throughout the whole Bible. You read this time and time again throughout the Old Testament. Right from the very beginning with Adam and Eve in the garden. It says in Gen 3:15 “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

His commands are supreme, and binding on all his creatures. But what if you add [A. C. Y. and removed the E] to the end of that word supreme........We would get supremacy! See supremacy gives a deep understanding to what it means to be supreme! It’s a state of being supreme or in the highest station of power; highest authority or power!
