5. What word does the NWT insert into Colossians 1:16-17 to make it appear that Christ was created
first, then was the instrument of Jehovah’s creation to create all other things?

6. Is the Watchtower justified in this insertion?

7. What Old Testament verse (which you have memorized) informs us that the Lord ALONE created all
things?

8. If this OT verse is true, what does that say about who Jesus is?

9. In Col 1:16-17, what word have the JWs inserted to make Christ appear to be a part of the creation
rather than the Creator?

5.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Colossians 1:16-17 tell us that Jesus Christ is the creator of all things AND the sustainer of all
things. He holds all things together. Isn’t it amazing that our Savior is currently seated at the
right hand of the Father personally interceding for us yet has time to maintain the entire
universe with His thoughts? What does that say about His power? It’s a great time to praise
Him in song!
