(KJV) Colossians 1:18
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 preeminence.
FIRSTBORN FROM AMONG THE DEAD / COLOSSIANS 1:18
Jesus Christ was the first to rise from the dead with a spiritual and immortal body (1 Corinthians 15:20). Others who were raised from the dead eventually died again (2 Kings 4:35; Luke 7:15; John 11:44; Acts 9:36-41; 20:7-11). On the day of His resurrection, Jesus became head of the church – the worldwide, all-time community of all true followers of Christ. The New Testament church began on that day, when the disciples received the Holy Spirit. The fact that Christ is the “firstborn from among the dead” gives the blessed hope to all believers that there will be a final resurrection of all those for whom He died (Christ died for all, and all will be raised again – those who accept Him will be raised to eternal life with Him, and those who do not accept Him will be raised to eternal punishment and separation from God; John 5:28-29).
