'Christ Jesus is the image of the unseen God and the firstborn of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and earth. God wanted all perfection to be found in him, and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, when he made peace by his death on the Cross.”
St Paul’s quotation of an early Christian hymn enables us to understand who Christ is and, within that understanding, to understand who we are and the meaning of our lives.
Our existence is not some cosmic accident. We were created through Christ and for him. Our belonging is with him, and, despite the frailty and confusion of sin, his death brings the peace for which we long.
