Jesus is Worthy to be in First Place

Jesus is the Supreme One and He is worthy of our devotion. The Apostle Paul writes, 

 

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. (Colossians 1:15-20)

 

Why is He worthy to be First Place? Here is the list:

  • He is the King of His Kingdom.
  • He is the Savior of our sins.
  • He is the image of the invisible God.
  • He is the firstborn of all creation (meaning the one with all authority).
  • He is the creator of all things. 
  • He is the sustainer of all things.
  • He is the head of the body, the church.
  • He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead.
  • He is the fullness of all things.
  • He is the reconciler of all things.
