Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of The Leader’s Notebook (Ep. 320), I open Paul’s letter to the Colossians and address one of the most important questions in all of Christianity: Who is Jesus Christ? Drawing from Colossians 1:11–19, John 1, and other key passages, I examine the biblical truth that Jesus is far more than a teacher, prophet, or miracle worker. He is the eternal Son of God, the visible image of the invisible God, the Creator of all things, and the One in whom the fullness of God dwells. At a time when many are confused about the identity of Christ, this message returns to the bedrock truths of Scripture. If Jesus is truly God, then His sacrifice can save, His blood can redeem, His victory over darkness is complete, and His power is available for every believer today. Join me as we explore why the divinity of Christ is not a secondary doctrine, but the foundation upon which all Christian faith, hope, and salvation stand.- Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Colossians(00:01:15) - Colossians 1:11-19(00:03:26) - The Letter from Paul to Philemon(00:04:33) - Rethinking American Evangelical theology(00:13:20) - Jesus Confesses His Divinity to a Fallen Woman(00:18:44) - The Trinity in Christian theology(00:22:51) - The Trinity in Christian theology(00:24:22) - Paul on the Crucifixion(00:33:52) - Doubting Thomas
