Colossians 1
15 Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,
16 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.
17 He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
This is the same Christ Who bids me daily to come and die and follow Him. I must die to myself because I am none of the things described in this passage from Colossians. Jesus is. How could I possibly think that I could come before Jesus? How could I dare be selfish and stupid that way? Father, forgive me for the times when I put Jesus in 2nd place in my heart. He is Supreme over all creation, and I am simply part of the creation! Not the other way around.
