And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
Colossians 1:18 NIV
This is just a reminder as we head into the weekend, Thanksgiving and the Christmas season: In everything Christ has the supremacy. This is not Christ should be supreme, Christ is supreme.
Paul was teaching the truth about who Jesus Christ is; the head of the body, the church; the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead so that in everything he might have the supremacy. He was not telling them to put Jesus first, he was reminding them that Jesus is first. Christ is supreme.
Christ did not die on the cross just to die, he died to rise again and conquer sin and death and to rescue us from the dominion of darkness and bring us into his kingdom, redeeming us and forgiving us of our sins. Christ is supreme.
So, I encourage you to remember, rest and rejoice in the truth that in everything Christ has the supremacy.
