Jesus: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord? (Incarnation and Christology)

Where should someone start if they want to dive deep into the question of who is Jesus?
What about when Colossians 1 calls him the “firstborn?”
What are the essentials of Christology?
What are the implications of leaning into one of the natures of Jesus?
In the creeds (Athanasian, Apostles, Nicene, Chalcedon) they focus on clarifying who, what, and how Christ is. Why this intense focus so early on?
How does Christ perfectly fulfill the three offices of prophet, priest, and king?
Helpful Definitions:
Logos: The word.

Docetism: The false belief that Jesus’s humanity was a figment or presentation, not a true human nature.
