Lesson Description: What does it actually mean to know God? Not just know about Him, but truly know Him? In this session, we dig into one of the most profound passages in all of Scripture, Colossians 1:15-20, which presents Jesus not as a symbol or a religious mascot, but as the full and complete image of the invisible God. The word used for 'image' in this passage carries the weight of full presence and identity, meaning Jesus does not merely resemble God. He is God. This distinction changes everything about how we approach our faith. We also explore the staggering reality that Jesus is the creator and sustainer of all things. Every breath we take, every moment we are given, exists because He wills it. That reframes our quiet times entirely. We are not carving out time from our day to check a spiritual box. We are receiving time that Jesus Himself has given us so that we can meet with Him. That shift in perspective is what moves faith from an academic exercise into a living, breathing relationship.
