In perhaps the most explicit teaching on the Christ in the New Testament, Paul says:
1) all that we can know of God is seen in Jesus because the visible man Jesus reveals the invisible God to us, and
2) Jesus has priority in every way as the Father has given authority over all creation to Jesus.
Written to a community in danger of leaving the gospel, Paul emphasizes that Christ and the cross are essential to getting the gospel right.
