Christ is the visible representation of the invisible God, the Firstborn and Lord of all creation.

Moreover He is the Head of His Body, the Church. He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, in order that He Himself may in all things occupy the foremost place.

But speaking of the time when He once more brings His Firstborn into the world, He says, "And let all God's angels worship Him."

Through faith he instituted the Passover, and the sprinkling with blood so that the destroyer of the firstborn might not touch the Israelites.
