Here's a paraphrase of what this guy qoutes. Paul, the former persecuter of Jesus' followers writes this about Jesus:


15-18We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God's original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body.

18-20He was supreme in the beginning and—leading the resurrection parade—he is supreme in the end. From beginning to end he's there, towering far above everything, everyone. So spacious is he, so roomy, that everything of God finds its proper place in him without crowding. Not only that, but all the broken and dislocated pieces of the universe—people and things, animals and atoms—get properly fixed and fit together in vibrant harmonies, all because of his death, his blood that poured down from the cross. (Colossians 1:15-20 Message)

Paul speaks with authority. He traveled the world putting His life in risk, living through being stoned and imprisoned and shipwrecked and starvation and ridicule. He left his home country, his people, his familiar friends, his great job to follow this Jesus. He knew Jesus on a personal level and everything he accomplished he poured back into praise to God. Wow. Paul was an incredible person and in my opinion it is because he followed so close to an incredible God.
