Preeminence of Christ

Speaker
In the Colossians 1:15–23, we see a powerful picture of Jesus as Creator, Sustainer, and Savior. This passage reminds us that Christ is above all things and calls us to remain firm in faith and anchored in the hope of the gospel.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
