Before we continue, let's get to know more about the Person of Christ we are talking about.

A thorough study of the above outline will broaden ones scope of the knowledge of Christ and what He truly represents before God and man.and acknowledge Him much more than we have done before. And this will certainly help draw many people from the boundage of ignorance, lukewarmness and the misleading orientation of only paying lips service to the Name instead of the actual knowledge of the plan and purpose of God for mankind.
CHRIST ABOVE ALL
John 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Ephesians 1:21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Psalm 148:13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his majesty is above earth and heaven.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me
Colossians 2:15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him
Acts 5:31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood
From the scripture verses above, we have no reason to argue about the Person of Christ Jesus as the One above all! And with this knowledge, we are bound to accept the reality of His being the only example to follow far above all settings, teachings, doctrines, traditions, orientations an
d influences of the present day church or ministries.
