‘In everything’ Christ is ‘pre-eminent’ (Colossians 1:18).
* He is pre-eminent in our salvation.
In Luke 23:42-43, we read of the thief on the cross, trusting in Christ for salvation. Like the dying thief, we come to Christ in our weakness. He meets us with His strong salvation.
Deeply conscious of our sin, we know that we can do nothing to save ourselves. We must look away from ourselves to the Saviour.
In Him, there is redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14).
Through Him, we receive the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of sins (Luke 1:77).
