CHURCH MEMBERSHIP (12)

The church has One Head

Col 1.18 And Christ is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be pre-eminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

The head and Lord of the church is Jesus Christ. He does not relinquish that position to anyone. All the plans and power come from him into the members. He makes these plans known to us through the Bible. Christian leaders are little people – anyone who wants to be great in Christ’s church must serve others more – spend themselves as Christ spent himself for us.
