About the Book

The Divinity of Jesus in the Book of Colossians by Dr. Maxwell Shimba

The Book of Colossians, authored by the Apostle Paul, is a profound theological treatise that underscores the divinity of Jesus Christ. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul seeks to affirm the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ in all things, countering any teachings that diminish His divine nature. Dr. Maxwell Shimba, in his expository analysis of Colossians, eloquently elucidates the various facets of Christ's divinity as presented in this epistle, emphasizing how these truths are foundational to Christian faith and practice.

Dr. Shimba begins by highlighting Colossians 1:15-17, where Paul describes Jesus as "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." This passage asserts that Jesus is not merely a reflection of God but the exact representation of His being. As the "firstborn over all creation," Jesus is preeminent in rank and authority, indicating His eternal existence and active role in creation. Dr. Shimba points out that this assertion dispels any notions of Christ being a created being, affirming instead His divine nature and eternal preexistence.

In exploring Colossians 1:19, Dr. Shimba underscores the significance of the fullness of God dwelling in Christ. This verse states, "For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him," which Dr. Shimba interprets as the complete and total presence of God's attributes, essence, and power residing in Jesus. This theological claim reinforces the idea that Jesus embodies the entirety of the divine nature, making Him fully God in every aspect. Dr. Shimba notes that this profound truth is central to understanding the nature of the incarnation, where God became man without losing His divinity.

Another critical passage examined by Dr. Shimba is Colossians 2:9, which declares, "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form." This verse not only reiterates the divinity of Jesus but also emphasizes His incarnate form. Dr. Shimba explains that this statement refutes any dualistic separation of Jesus' divine and human natures, presenting instead a unified Christ who is both fully God and fully man. This unity is essential for the doctrine of salvation, as it affirms that only a divine Savior could effectively atone for the sins of humanity.

Dr. Shimba also delves into the reconciliatory work of Christ as described in Colossians 1:20, which speaks of reconciling "all things to himself" through the blood of His cross. This act of reconciliation underscores Jesus' role as the divine mediator between God and creation. Dr. Shimba emphasizes that such an act could only be accomplished by one who possesses both divine authority and power. The reconciliation achieved by Jesus is comprehensive, affecting both the physical and spiritual realms, and highlights His supreme authority over all things.

Finally, Dr. Shimba reflects on the implications of Christ's divinity for believers, as articulated in Colossians 3:1-4. Paul urges believers to "set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God." Dr. Shimba explains that recognizing Jesus' divine authority and eternal reign encourages believers to live in a manner that reflects their heavenly calling. The assurance of Christ's divinity and His ongoing intercession for believers provides a source of hope and strength, empowering them to live out their faith with confidence and conviction.
