While imprisoned in Rome, Paul warns believers to remain vigilant against false teaching by beautifully expounding on the cosmic Person of Christ. Jesus is “the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent” (Colossians 1:18).

We no longer compete for something Greater, but for Someone Greater. We play with a new purpose: He must become Greater, and we must become less.
