Jesus in HD
Who is Jesus to You from TrinityWired Productions on Vimeo.
This past Sunday we kicked off a series at Trinity Church on the Book of Colossians, called Jesus in HD. We believe a clear view of Christ should lead to a new way of life. In Colossae, there were many thoughts about who Jesus was, and there are many thoughts about who Jesus is in our culture. This video confirms this thought and why we are committed to teaching through this short but powerful book of the Bible. If you read through the Book of Colossians, you will readily find that Paul clearly and loud proclaims that Jesus is . . . .
God’s Son
Redeemer
Image of God
The Lord of creation
The Object of our faith
The Head of the Church
Supreme and Preeminent
Reconciler of the universe
The essence of the mystery of God
The standard by which all religious is to be measured
Conqueror of sin, evil, death and the grave
Enthroned right now at the right hand of God

As I thought about this video, I wondered if the follow up question should be, "Who did Jesus say that He was?" I find the culture today doesn't put much stock in what the Bible says, they think it is just another book. And when you ask the question, "Who is Jesus to you?", that places their thoughts or experiences as the truth about Jesus. But when you ask them, "Who did Jesus say that He was", it might make them think, "What sources do we have that recorded Jesus' words?" and then make them curious enough to actually open the Bible to see what He did say about Himself. Thanks for posting this, because it really helped me to think about how to engage others about Jesus without arguing about the authority of the Bible.
Some of my favorites ways that Jesus described Himself are in the gospel of John. I especially love:
the good Shepherd
the door
living water.

We loved this video when we saw it in church the other week. In fact, we love it whenever Trinity goes to the streets and asks random people what they know about *the truth*, and we are always astonished by their responses.
As a Christian, I say that I struggle with idolatry, because I put myself before Christ. Likewise, this video is also a testament that there is not such thing as atheism, because we try to make ourselves "god."
