Daniel Akin • Brandon Crowe • Richard Phillips*“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation,” the apostle Paul wrote about Jesus Christ in Colossians 1. “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.” These powerful words declare the absolute sovereignty of Jesus Christ, and Paul’s epistle to the Colossians resounds with soaring words of description concerning who Christ is and what Christ has done. It is a letter about the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ.
But where is Christ most glorified? As hard as it is for many to believe, the Son of God was never more glorified than as he hung on the cross of Calvary, absorbing the righteous wrath of a holy God as a substitute for sinners. The slate of our sins was wiped clean, and the record of debt that our transgressions demanded was nailed to the cross and marked “Paid in full.” This is the message Paul wants to convey to God’s people: Christ’s glory and the cross go hand-in-hand.
The 17th annual Quakertown Conference on Reformed Theology is thrilled to devote this year’s conference to an in-depth study of this exquisite letter. Colossians: The Glory of Christ is scheduled for November 8-9, 2024, at Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Quakertown, PA, with speakers Brandon Crowe, Richard Phillips, and Derek Thomas*. By God’s grace, we will start with Colossians 1:1 on Friday night and conclude with Colossians 4:18 on Saturday afternoon. We know you will be blessed as you sit under the teaching of God’s inerrant, inspired, infallible, authoritative, and life-giving Word.
