of the body’s life. He is the first-born Son, who was
raised from death, in order that He alone might have
the first place in all things. For it was by God’s own
decision that the Son has in Himself the full nature of
God. Thru the Son, then, God decided to bring the
whole universe back to Himself. God made peace
thru His Son’s blood on the cross and so brought back
toHimselfallthings,bothonearthandinheaven.
