Further Reflections on Scripture References
Stanza 1 – Jesus the “perfect picture of the unseen God” reminds us of John 14:9-14
When stanza 2 names Christ the firstborn, we think of I Corinthians 15:20-28; when he is called the bridegroom, we think of a passage such as John 3:27-30, one among many references to Jesus as the bridegroom.
