Sometimes being “first” comes with pressure or pride, but we’re reminded in Colossians 1:18 that Jesus holds the true first place… not because He chased status, but because He laid His life down and rose again for us. His love and sovereignty makes it easier for us to follow Him with trust, knowing the One who is preeminent is also the One who serves and loves us first.
