Imagine walking into a museum and standing before a massive, intricate painting. At first glance, it’s breathtaking—the colors, the composition, the sheer beauty of it all. But as you step closer, you start noticing details that raise questions. Why did the artist use that shade? What does that symbol mean? What’s the bigger story behind this masterpiece?

That’s a little like reading Colossians 1:15-20. It’s one of the most awe-inspiring descriptions of Jesus in all of Scripture—His supremacy, His power, His role in creation and redemption. But it also has layers that can leave us wondering, What does this really mean?
