Put Jesus first. Above everyone and everything. 15 Jesus is the image of the invisible God…. 16 For everything was created by Him…. 17 He is before all things, and by Him all things hold together. 18 He Is also the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn form the dead, so that He might come to have first place in everything. Colossians 1: 15-18 Put Jesus first. Above everyone and everything.

Put Jesus first. Above everyone and everything. (Command) “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, (promise) and all these things will be provided for you. Matthew 6:33 Put Jesus first. Above everyone and everything.

Matthew 10:37-38 26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even his own life – he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26-27
