Colossians 1:18

Turkish (Yaşam Yayınları)

Bedenin, yani kilisenin başı Odur. Her şeyde ilk yeri alsın diye başlangıç olan ve ölüler arasından ilk doğan Odur.

Bu ne anlama geliyor?

This verse tells us that Jesus is the leader of his church, like a head controls a body. It means he was the first to rise from the dead and will have the highest position in everything. The apostle Paul wrote this.

Çocuklar için açıklama

Imagine your body as a big family. Your head is like mommy or daddy, telling everyone what to do so the whole family works together smoothly. Jesus is like that for his church—he's the boss who makes sure everything runs right and helps others follow God’s rules.

Tarihsel arka plan

The apostle Paul wrote this letter to the Colossian believers around 60 AD. He aimed to correct false teachings about Christ, emphasizing Jesus' supremacy over all creation and spiritual matters.
