Christ is the leader of the body of Earthly believers. He directs us and it is our duty to follow and carry out His instruction. No one person can ever do it all. We are to be the living embodiment of Jesus Christ, ever striving to be more like Him, while here on earth. The Holy Spirit directs each of us and uses us as He sees fit to best utilize our exclusively individual talents and abilities. There are no jobs within the body that are any more important than any other in God’s sight and economy.

The head has the brain and the brain controls how we think and feel and learn and remember and move and talk but also our beating heart, food digestion, organ functions etc. Our intelligence, behavior, senses, body movement and behavior control is all from the brain. So as Jesus serves as our head/brain, our whole spiritual body is controlled and affected and influenced–as it should be. It’s all pretty mind-blowing (no pun intended).

As the Head of the Church, Jesus is the one who provides the way and models and teaches how to find and follow the way. As the body of the Church, we physically go and do what God commands through the teachings and through the modeling provided by Jesus so that others might find the way and follow Gods commands.

So, the head would be the leader and director, and the church as the body is how we get nourished through the Holy spirit.
