Hello splendor. Ano po ibig sabihin ng ” First born of all creation” si Jesus ?

 

He has absolute supremacy over all natural creation, because he is ‘the firstborn of every creature’. ‘Firstborn’ here (as Rom_8:29; Col_1:18) is used in the metaphorical sense of pre-existence before creation. * Radford (p 174): ‘It implies more than priority; it implies a relationship to God which cannot be predicated even of angels or men, much less of other creatures’. (Cf. Prat I, 289 f.; C. F. Burney, JTS 27 [ 1926] 160 f.) Christ, then, being eternal, is supreme; yet he is the final revelation of God (16 ).—Catholic Commentary on Holy Scriptures by Bernard Orchard
The first [2] born of every creature. St. John Chrysostom takes notice against the Arians, that the apostle calls Christ the first-begotten, or first-born, not the first created, because he was not created at all. And the sense is, that he was before all creatures, proceeding from all eternity from the Father; though some expound the words of Christ as man, and that he was greater in dignity. See Romans viii. 29.
