Col 1:16-17 What profound truth does this passage highlight?
The profound truth this passage highlights is that Jesus was not eternally the Son of God as a great many Christians believe - He was God.
Before He took on human form at His incarnation, Jesus always existed as an equal member of the Godhead from all eternity (CP Mic 5:2; Zech 13:7; Mt 1:23; Jn 1:1-2, 15; 3:13; 8:56-58; 17:5; Php 2:5-8; 1 Ti 3:16; 1 Jn 1:1-3; 3:16).
Fellow in Zech 13:7 refers to the pre-incarnate Jesus as being a fellow-God with Jehovah.
The pre-incarnate Jesus was a spirit being and carried out the divine order of creation (CP Psa 90:2; 102:25-27; Jn 1:3, 10; Eph 3:9; He 1:1-2, 10-12; Rev 3:14).
For a more detailed study on this subject see comments on Lu 1:35(B).
