Firstborn

I am reading Collosians. Here is the excert that stopped me.

1: 13-18 [The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in Whom we have our redemption through His blood, [which means] the forgiveness of our sins.
[Now] He is the exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.
For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.
And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).
He also is the Head of [His] body, the church; seeing He is the Beginning, the Firstborn from among the dead, so that He alone in everything and in every respect might occupy the chief place [stand first and be preeminent].

I have not thought much about being a firstbron. I am not a firstborn, but three of four. My siblings are very integral in my life. I cannot imagine a system where ,my brother would be the one who would recieve my parents inheritance (which there is none to be had- but if there was).

Jesus was Firstborn. Such an important position that Sarah give Abraham Hagar so he can keep the inheritance in the family. Cain and Able exchanged the birthright and blessing. Jesus gives his iheritance to us. I don't think about this because it is so foreign to me. Any thouhgts?
