Christ's Supremacy

           Christ is supreme over all.  His power, authority, reign, and place are supreme.  His rule, His dominion is higher than any form of government.  Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.  All things have been created through Him and for Him.  He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.  Indeed, Christ descended into the lower parts of the earth.  And He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.  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 1:15-18 , Ephesians 4:9-10)

          In spite of all this, Christ will not necessarily impress His supremacy on you, although it will always be in existence and prevail whether you recognize it or not. For He desires for you to be in cooperation and willing subjection to His will.  When you do acknowledge His supremacy, you position yourself to fall into  synchronization with God, where every area of your life overflows with a superabundance of God's presence.  God's desire to be in you and reveal Himself to the world through you is great indeed.  For that's the way God operates...through people!!!

          Therefore, let us live in the revelation of Christ's supremacy.  Let us recognize that His rule is supreme in our own lives, and that no earthly circumstance can overrule it.  And let us daily declare Christ's supremacy so that the reality of it is further solidified in our hearts.
