The Centrality and Supremacy of Christ in All Things

This message is an invitation into eternity before time, a revelation of Jesus Christ before creation, beyond symbols, shadows, and religious concepts. In The Centrality, Pre-eminence, and Supremacy of Christ in All Things, Gene Edwards unfolds a breathtaking vision of Christ as He existed in glory before anything was made—and why that matters for every believer today.

The teaching begins not with Genesis 1:1, but before the beginning, where there was no space, no angels, no creation—only the Father, the Son, and the Spirit in perfect fellowship. Christ is revealed as absolute reality. Gold, pearl, water, light, food, peace, glory, and life were not created symbols; they were Christ Himself before creation ever existed. There were no types or shadows—only reality.

From this eternal fellowship, the Father made a decision of unimaginable love. He desired others to see His Son—to behold His glory with eyes not His own. In the counsel of the Godhead, portions of Christ Himself were marked off, named, and written in the Book of Life before the foundation of the world. These portions were not separate from Christ, yet were destined to become His inheritance—His bride.

Before creation, Christ was slain. Not symbolically, but actually—within the Godhead. In that death, all creation that had not yet been created was taken into Him and destroyed. The old creation was crucified before it existed. Christ then rose from the dead before creation, bringing with Him all those chosen portions of Himself. The new creation is therefore older than the old creation, and resurrection preceded Genesis.

This message explains why Scripture can say that Christ finished all things before He created all things. Creation was brought forth inside Christ, sustained in Christ, and destined to end in Christ. Everything exists in Him, through Him, by Him, and for Him.

Gene Edwards then brings the revelation home with staggering clarity:
You were in Christ before creation.
You were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world.
Your name was written in the Book of Life before time began.
When Christ died, you died.
When He rose, you rose.
When the old creation ends, you are not there—because you were never part of it.

The climax of the message centers on Paul’s words in Colossians: “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
This eternal, pre-existent, all-supreme Christ—who is before all things and above all things—lives in you.

That is the mystery.
Not theology.
Not symbolism.
Not doctrine alone.

Christ Himself, dwelling in you.

The Father’s great desire is that this Christ have preeminence in all things—in creation, in redemption, in the church, and in the believer’s life. Nothing is to rival Him. Nothing is to replace Him. Nothing is to share His throne.
