As you reflect on Christ as the Head and the church as the body, what insights come to mind?
-
Jesus loves us enough to do more than live, die, and rise again from the dead. He loves us enough to lead us every step along the way. He is the Head. He didn’t just show us, He is still showing and leading us. We, as the body, are not perfect. We forget who the Head is. But, He forgives us, and continues to lead us.
-
Christ as the Head would be controlling factor and guide the functioning of the body- the church.
Christ has the preeminence in all aspects of the life, including worshipping, thanksgiving, adoration, and honor.
Body will draw all its instructions and directions from Christ the Head.
-
Both individually and collectively we were created to be totally dependent on God and each other.
-
We are called to live in obedience to God’s Word, carrying a Christlike attitude as we exercise the gifts guided by the Holy Spirit. The bottom line, and most important of all, is to love one another as we love ourselves, out of our love for God.
-
I think of my own body and how when something as small and meaningless as my pinky toe hurting, my whole body suffers. Not only does each body part account for a large amount of function but it has its own specific role to play to fulfill its purpose for day to day efficiency. When we are growing closer and unifying the body under Jesus leadership and plan, the parts of the body are learning their exact purpose and how to better fulfill the role they are needed for the body to accomplish its Goals.
