important reality: “Jesus Christ 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” (Colossians
1:15-18).
