Bible Note: Greetings Zerotheory! I am getting ready to go to work, so I'll have to be brief. 1) Col. 1:16: To whom does the 'He' of v. 16 refer? He is the 'Son' of v. 13. He is image of God in v. 14. He is the head of the Church in v. 18. He is the firstborn from the dead in v. 18. He is the fullness of God in v. 19. He is the one who shed His blood on the cross in v. 20. Clearly, these are all references to Jesus. 2) John 1:1-4: Again, the text makes it clear that this is a reference to Jesus. Look at v. 14. "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." It was not the Father who created, but the Word, and John 1:1-14 makes it perfectly clear that Jesus is the Word. The question is: Will we accept what the Word says?
