This episode looks at Colossians 1:18, “And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.” These are the last two truths of Colossians 1:15–18: Head over the church; firstborn from the dead. Jesus is the source of and authority over the church, and he was raised as the first fruits of the new creation. In him we shall also be raised to new life forevermore. All praise and glory and honor to him!
