Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
Perspective. If we don't get it right, we can really mess things up. Like in the church. Who is in charge, most important, and the only one we cannot survive without? Christ alone. Yes, all the parts of the body are needed. But when we get infected or "too big" in proportion to the rest of the body (in our minds) we can be a problem. Not so with Christ. Never. He is always just the right size, in the right mind, doing what He is supposed to be doing. So let's look to Him, listen to Him, trust in Him, and keep ourselves in proper perspective.
