Chew on this!

He is the image of the invisible God
the firstborn of all creation.
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.

And he is before all things
and in him all things hold together.
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.

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwel
and through him to reconcile to himself all things
whether on earth or in heaven
making peace by the blood of his cross.

Colossians 1:15-20
