Colossians 1:15 ESV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Creation has been around for a long time, from beginning to end. We weren't there for the beginning, but we will all be gathered at the end. Christ at both ends of time and beyond creation.
What might be meant by "the firstborn of all creation"? It could remind us that He is the head of all creation, the word that brought everything into existence. It could remind us that this is the firstborn of the God's purpose of creation, that union of the divine and man that is the ultimate of relationships. We who follow Christ enter into the fellowship of the Trinity and the oneness of God as sons. In that sense, we become one of many brothers and sisters in the household of our Father. We are the reborn of all creation.
