“For 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.” Colossians 1:16
There is a simple reason why Jesus holds the highest rank in creation; because he is the Creator of all things. There is nothing in the created order that Jesus did not create (John 1:3). Because he is the Creator, Jesus has absolute supremacy over all creation, including anything that is worshipped by those who choose not to follow him. Since only God can be the Creator, this means that Jesus, the perfect “photograph” of God, is even more than that; Jesus is God!
About Me
Isaiah 43:19-21
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it spings up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise."
