“Everything was created through him (Christ) and for him.
He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.
Christ is the head of the church, which is his body.
He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead.
So He (Jesus) is first in everything”. Colossians 1:17-18 NLT
