He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
Why Christ is Above All
Christ is Above Creation
For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through him and for him.
2. Christ is above the church
He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.
He is also the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.
3. Christ is above death.
He is also the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything.
4. Christ is above Man
Once you were alienated and hostile in your minds expressed in your evil actions.
5. Christ is above all and is reconciler.
But now he has reconciled you by his physical body through his death, to present you holy, faultless, and blameless before him—
if indeed you remain grounded and steadfast in the faith and are not shifted away from the hope of the gospel that you heard. This gospel has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and I, Paul, have become a servant of it.
6. Christ is above all and his plan is Supreme.
