SUBJECT TO CHRIST

LALO’AOA KIA KALAISI

COLOSSIANS 1:18

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.

KOLOSE 1:18

pea ko ‘Ene ‘Afio ko e ‘Ulu ‘o e Sino ko ia ko e Siasi; he ko e Kamata ia, ko e ‘Uluaki na‘e fakatupu mei he kau Pekia; koe‘uhi ke ne hoko ‘i he me‘a kotoa pē ko e Tu‘ukimu‘a.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko e Kalasi pe   

The whole universe is put in subjection to Jesus Christ; all heaven and earth, angels and men, are subject to Him, as executing this office, and are put under Him to that end, that all things may be ordered by Him, in subservience to the great designs of His redemption. All power, as He says, is given to Him in heaven and in earth, that He may give eternal life to as many as the Father has given Him; and He is exalted far above all principality and power, and might and dominion, and made Head over all things to the church.

The angels are put in subjection to Him, that He may employ them all as ministering spirits for the good of them that shall be the heirs of salvation. And all things are so governed by their Redeemer that all things are theirs, whether things present or things to come; and all God's works of providence in the moral government of the world, which we have an account of in Scripture history, or that are foretold in Scripture prophecy, are evidently subordinate to the great purposes and end of this great work.
