To honor Christ and fulfill His purpose, we must exalt Him. Jesus has delivered us from darkness and reconciled us to God, redeeming us through His blood and forgiving our sins (Colossians 1:13-14). He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, and the preeminent authority over all things (vv. 15-17). We should exalt Him by confessing Him with our words and lives, honoring Him in our priorities and finances, and spending time with Him in prayer and Bible study. When we exalt Jesus, we not only please the Father but also experience His blessings and protection (vv. 18-22).
