Colossians 1:18 NKJV

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. Colossians 1:18 NKJV

Jesus Christ is the head of the body, which is the church. Jesus is the one to direct the church by the power of His Spirit. Jesus is the first born from the dead. Jesus defeated death and brought forth life. He is the beginning of a new life to all who would believe in Him. In Him all things are held together and through Him all good things flow. Every need and longing of souls can be met in Christ Jesus our Lord. Mankind can never be satisfied until Christ Jesus becomes the Lord over our lives and lives in us. The reason Christ is to have the preeminence or the first place in our lives so that all that is in Him can flow through us. For Christ to be the preeminence or first place is not for Himself, it's for our sake. For life flows only through Him and in Him we can partake in abundant life. To put Christ Jesus as the first in our life and to follow through His instructions will lead to a successful and fulfilled life. To let Christ to be the head and leader over our lives is the best decision anyone can make. To have Jesus in our lives means to live forever from this life to eternity. Let us follow Jesus and give Him the preeminence over our lives so that we can fully live life that is blessed in every way. Blessings Ambrose Francis
