Jesus Is… Firstborn??? 

Colossians 1:15

QUESTION: Jesus is firstborn? Does that mean he was created?

BIG IDEA: Firstborn = Christ’s Preeminence. In Jesus is the fullness of God, and there is salvation in Him alone.

Preeminence = To hold First Place above all else.

Proof 1: Immediate Context & “Firstborn”

Proof 2: Jesus/Gospels Claim Jesus is God

Proof 3: Biblical Texts Claim Jesus is God

Application: Is Jesus preeminent in your life?
