-**  ...**+** Let us understand ...**
  
 +So first, Paul proclaimes that Jesus is God himself, that he is the firstborn of all creation. By him
 +all things were created. He is not created. He is also the creator of all thrones, all dominions and
 +authorities. There are many far reaching statements here. You might take them with you to explore
 +and think about this for many years, where ever your personal path will lead you ... When you deal
 +with management or politics, when you try to achieve anything, in the church or outside of the church,
 +these words about HIM being the beginning and the creator of all this is extremely helpful!
  
 +Second, Paul proclaims the salvation through the blod of Jesus at the cross. There is peace. That is
 +a monumental statement. There is peace, and it is in him, it is in the blood of Jesus at the cross. 
 +We search peace in this world! We search peace from physical violence. We search peace in our 
 +communities. We search peace within us, with our life, with our goals, our desires, our needs. And
 +Paul proclaimes the cross as a central point where peace can be found. It is to remember, to explore,
 +to search. It might seem very strange at the beginning, but when you start to open your heart, your
 +mind and your life to it, you discover the power of the cross, and you discover the peace which
 +he gives, Christ Jesus. 
 +
 +Third, Paul talks to you. God talks to each and everyone of us through his servant Paul. You are 
 +reconciled with God through Christ Jesus. You have pace. You have new life. You have a path ahead full
 +of hope and truth and love and joy, in all challenges and pain and suffering. God loves each and 
 +every human - we cannot change this fact. The gospel is truly a unique and breathtaking message and
 +story, the fullness of God coming into this world. Amazing, unbelievable, stunning ...
