People's Commentary (NT)
Colossians 1:18
And. In Colossians 1:15-17, Paul portrays Christ as the center and
source of the creation. In this section he shows that he is the Head of
the "new" creation.
He is the head of the body, the church. In the church he is
pre-eminent. It is his spiritual body, and he is the supreme head.
Compare 1 Corinthians 11:3 Eph 1:10,22.
Who is the beginning. The new creation began from him and in him.
He is first of all in time.
The first-born from the dead. He first conquered death, and not
for himself alone, but the great company of those found in him who have
been born from the dead.
