Is Jesus all sufficient? What do you think?
Not in name only, no. Without His faith and finished work in our stead, we would have no good news and would not have salvation.Is Jesus all sufficient? What do you think?
And what I mean by not in name only...There are a whole mess of people out there who believe in the name. They believe WHO Jesus Christ is and they are not saved having never trusted the Lord believing the WHAT of the cross/ the WHY Christ died for them/ the gospel of our salvation 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
I look to this also:
Colossians 1:15-20New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.
17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
18 He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
19 For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him,
20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.

Jesus is NOT the express image of the Father for the Father is a spirit. Jesus is a man that God created to hold that express image.

No.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Heb 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
He spoke to the Son as the Son, before he, the Son, was "begotton." Just to be clear.No.

You don't pay attention to details, but the KJB is a Holy book of details!Go back to verse 15.
Christ, not Jesus, was God's first creation.
