Colossians 1:15

“(Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”
(NASB)


STRONGS HEBREW/GREEK ORIGINS

“(Jesus) is the image (eikon: figure, likeness) of the invisible (aoratos: unseen, or that which can not be seen) God, the firstborn (prototokos: first begotten) of all creation (ktisis: all established things, beings and creatures).”

SUMMARY

Jesus is the exact likeness of the unseen God. He was the firstborn of everything that ever was, is now and ever will be.

MEDITATION

How do you see God? You look to His Son. Do you understand the depth and mystery of your Saviour Jesus Christ? He was before all – He came into our realm (earth) and was made visible. Today, personally ask Him to reveal to you all that He is. See Him as absolute Lord of Lords, established before all of creation.

Whoa, Jesus, first born of ALL creation. [capital my emphasis]. Never caught it just that way. Another way scripture tells us that Jesus was from the beginning.
