Col. 1:15-20, Preexistence or Preeminence?

William Wachtel

Pastor William Wachtel brings to the viewer a refreshingly clear understanding of Paul’s words to the Colossians regarding Christ. Was Paul writing of a Christ who was “preexistent” to his own birth? Or, was he speaking of the “man” Christ Jesus who has been now given ultimate “preeminence” by God?
