Colossians 1:15-18
Christ
Christ
is the visible image
of the invisible God.
He existed
before anything was created
and is supreme
over all creation,
for through him
God created everything
in the heavenly realms
and on earth.
He made the things we can see
and the things we can’t see –
such as thrones, kingdoms,
rulers, and authorities
in the unseen world.
Everything was created
through him
and for him.
and for him.
He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
Christ is also
the head of the church,
which is his body.
He is the beginning,
supreme
over all who rise from the dead.
So he is first
in everything.
