Colossians 1:15 ESV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
There is that we cannot see. As vast is the world and the universe, the bigger portion of what is exists is beyond our view. God is bigger than creation, for He is outside creation, or rather, creation is within Him.
There is no direction we can turn, no height or distance we can journey, or depth entered which will bring us before Almighty God.
God is accessible because He came to us. The invisible became visible so that man might see the purpose for all creation. So that man might partake in the purpose of all creation.
That which was born and died in the world since the world began predates the firstborn of all creation. What is different with the birth of Christ?
He is born from above, but arrives in the way of man. He is baptized in the water of our humanity and arises from that water a new man, the firstborn of a new creation. He sits beside God on the throne of heaven.
Those that follow Him begin their first steps reborn into that same new creation. Like Christ, our first steps begin on earth as we walk with God on a journey that will end fully in His presence.
Our spirits arise into a new kingdom, a new domain of life. Our bodies will follow. We will share fully in His life, body and spirit, just as He lives. We will be with Him, even as He is with us. We share in the oneness of God.
He is the first and shows us the way. Listen to Him.
