"And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence." (Colossians 1:18; NKJV)
Preeminence has to do with being first in rank or influence (Strong's), holding the first place (Thayer's), being first (Vine's).
Consider these three questions about the preeminence of Christ:
1. Is Jesus first in my life?
2. Does He hold the first place?
3. Is His influence on me above all others?
