The Born Supremacy

Luke 1:26-33

Jesus is King over all creation.

Colossians 1:15b-1715He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and

invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is before all things.

He is the creator of all things.

He is the sustainer of all things.

Jesus is King over his new creation, the church.

Colossians 1:1818And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the

dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

He is the source of the church.

He is the originator of the church.

Is Jesus your King?

Is he getting my obedience?

1 John 2:3-43We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. 4The man who says, "I know him,"

but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Is he getting my best?

Malachi 1:8 NAS8"But when you present the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you present the lame and sick, is

it not evil? Why not offer it to your governor? Would he be pleased with you? Or would he receive you kindly?" says the LORD of hosts.

Philippians 2:9-109Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every

name, 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
