He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. – Colossians 1:18
Jesus – First in Everything
Colossians is all about the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus for Christians and Churches. We continue this theme today as we see that all “fullness” [of deity—the sum total of His essence, all His perfection, powers, and attributes] – dwells in Him. Because of who he is and what he has done, he is to have absolute first place in everything!

Think About It… Memorial Day
“As we think of the selflessness and heroism of such fellows, we are reminded of the words of Jesus Christ who said: ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” – Billy Graham
