There are 5 descriptions given to Jesus, each with its own unique unpacking of the very nature of Jesus; image of God, firstborn over all creation, head of the church, beginning, firstborn from among the dead (vv.15-18). These descriptions layer our understanding of who Jesus was. There are 3 accomplishments God delivered through Jesus; His fullness dwells in Jesus, reconciles all things to himself, peace through his blood on the cross. These accomplishments layer our understanding of what Jesus did. In light of verses 15-20 our position with God, the reality of our eternity.
