Preeminent in All Things

The greatest verbal portrait of who Jesus was, and is, and forever will be is found in Paul’s letter to the Christians who lived in the little town of Colossae. Among the marvelous description of King Jesus is the statement that Jesus is the “firstborn of all creation.” What does that mean? And how is that statement connected to the reality that Jesus is preeminent in all things? And why should that make us calm and confident? (Colossians 1.15-20) January 16, 2020
