Bible Question: oK THIS STILL DOES NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION. I NEED TO KNOW IN COLOSSIANS 1:15-23. WHAT IS IT ABOUT CHRIST THAT UNIQUELY QUALIFIES HIM TO BE OUR "RECONCILER"? |
Bible Answer: It is hard to know what answer you are seeking. In saying that he is uniquely qualified, you recognize that he is qualified as no one else is qualified. Since the passage refers to the reconciliation as being "to himself", logic would dictate that only he could do it. Scripture says elsewhere that there is no one else like him, pure spotless, undefiled, etc. There was no one else without sin, who could die for the sins of others. But only he could reconcile someone else "to himself". It is hard to believe that that is the answer you want. But the passage itself says: "all things were created ... for him". Since it was lost, someone was needed to restore it. But only he could restore it "to himself". One other point: he is the one who shed his blood. Does that qualify him? |
