First

(Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Remember, “in the beginning, God…”.

Here we have Christ, the very image of this invisible God, and He is the first-born over all creation.

Since my last post was a combination of an overload and a cop out, I want to look at and partake of these scriptures a piece at a time.

Susan is right.

These little nuggets speak volumes in themselves.

Now we all know that we are not all in the exact same place in our walks with the Lord, and I thank God for that. If for nothing else it keeps life interesting.

Keeping that in mind, I say to you that regardless of where you find yourself in your walk there is something that will never change.

God was first, and therefore Christ was first.

First let me tell you what I am not saying.

I am not saying that you should feel bad for not keeping Christ, truly, as first place in your life.

No.

What I am saying to you is that He has always been first, He is first, and He will always be first.

Now we may not always act like it, and we may not always recognise that fact, but by His very nature, regardless if men see the truth or the reality for what it (He) is, Christ is first.

Many of us want to put our ‘walk’ first.

Many of us want to put our ‘ministry’ first.

Many of us want to put our ‘victory’ first.

Our defeats, our agendas, our ‘cross’, our transformation, our sin, our salvation, etc….

But the truth is that it is Christ.

What a glorious reality this is!!!!

May we begin to agree with this fact, and to live in the light of such a revelation!!
