“Making Visible the Invisible”

”Making Visible the Invisible” A sermon based on Colossians 1:15-28 and Luke 10:38-42 delivered on July 20, 2025 by the Rev. Alison Andrea Young at the First Congregational UCC of Onekama, Michigan.

One of my favorite hymns is written to the tune of St Denio, It is the one we just finished singing. It begins ”Immortal, Invisible, God only wise. In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.” God, we say, is invisible. The author of Colossians, writing in Paul’s name, reminds us of that fact in our scripture lesson this morning. He reminds the people of Colossae that through the Incarnation, through the person of Jesus, we have “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of creation; for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible. . .” (w. 15-16b) . . .
