Text: Colossians 1:18 – And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.

What does Preeminence mean? It means to be First, to hold the First Rank or Highest Dignity. Preeminence Means Superiority, Dominance, Eminence, Primacy, Transcendence, Prestigiousness and Unquestionable Authority. To have first place in all and everything. The Word was only used once in the entire Bible. He is the Creator of the Universe. Col. 1:16

1. In Him all things consist; Upholder of All Things – Col. 1:17

2. He is the Head of the Church. Col. 1:18

3. He is the First Born from the Dead. Col. 1:18

4. In Him are hidden all the treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge. Col. 2:3

5. The Embodiment of The GodHead – Col. 2:9

6. The Head of All Principality and Power – Col. 2:10

Admonishment to Believers

1. Giving Thanks to The Father Who has made you Qualified to partakers of the Inheritance of the saints in light. Col. 1:12

2. Christ in You, the hope of Glory. 1:27

3. As you have received Christ Jesus, so you walk in Him. 2:6

4. Rooted and Built up in Him. 2:7

5. Beware of doing things not according to Christ – 2:8

6. Beware of not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God. 2:19

7. Let The Word of Christ dwell in you richly – Col. 3:16

8. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 3:17

In closing, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory”.
