Colossians 1:15–20: Christ the Reconciler of All
Among the most sweeping and majestic passages in all of Scripture is Colossians 1:15–20.

Children of God – Part 2:“Your Father the Devil” in John 8 and the Language of Spiritual Allegiance
Jesus’ statement in John 8:44—“You are of your father the devil”—is frequently interpreted as a declaration that certain people are ontologically (the essence or the nature of being) descended from Satan rather than from God.
