Christ was there before anything was made. And all things continue because of him.

祂存在於萬物之前，萬物都靠祂而維繫。 歌羅西書1:17

We look at this Son and see the God who cannot be seen. We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created. For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment. And when it comes to the church, he organizes and holds it together, like a head does a body. MSG 15-18a
