Jesus IS The First, Last, Above All, and ALL Fullness...
The natural mind places Jesus as the second person; but the Spirit of God reveals Him as the first and the last. Notice Ephesians 1:20, 21: "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places [the right hand denotes position or power], Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in the world to come."
And we turn to Philippians 2:9-11, "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name [and the highest name that God could give would be His own name]: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Then we turn to Colossians 1:15-19, "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the pre-eminence; For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell."
HIGHLY EXALTED KING OF KINGS FOREVER!

~To Him That is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy...to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.~ Jude 24
