Colossians 1:15-17 (Isaiah 40:26-31) Christ is the image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see … Everything was created through him and for him … and he holds all creation together.
It makes sense that Jesus the Creator is called Wonderful Counselor (Isaiah 9:6): the one who makes something knows best how it functions and how to care for it!
