As you reflect on Christ as the Head and the church as the body, what insights come to mind?
-
The head is the operation system for the body. The Brain is the source of all movement and functions of the Body. The church needs to be receptive to Jesus in the same way the body responds to the head.
-
The body is supposed to naturally respond to the leading of the brain, therefore, the church should always act in accordance to the will of Christ.
-
We should only get our leading and direction, as the church, from Christ and His Word.
-
I think of how God gives direction just like the brain directs the body. And when that happens, multiple parts of the body work in unison. When we are let by Christ, the Body of Christ can move forward in unity.

I feel relief from the statement that Christ is the Head and the church is the body. It seems to me that people are spending their lives in exhaustion trying to find how to live to experience meaning and satisfaction. I think you can see this from people’s obsessions over things like fitness, looks, and cloths; Further, the confusion that we see in our society now, in regard to morality (support for Hamas), sexuality (homosexual marriage), and gender (trans-genderism), shows that people are turning over every rock to find meaning. Our society has rejected the Lord and is now seeking for what only He can provide in anything else.
The fact that Christ has come to Earth, taught me how to live by His example, and that there is an organization (the church) that equips me through teaching, supports me through providing avenues to serve, and empowers me to live out my convictions is incredibly freeing. Christ lived, He taught us, left the spirit for us, and now it is up to us to do His work and glorify His name as a Christian community.
