Thoughts: The church is seen as the body and Christ is seen as the head of the body here. The head is what makes the rest of the body move, and is generally seen as the essential part of a human. Hearts, lungs, limbs may be transplanted or replaced but a full head has never been transplanted.
But more than just the bodily image, Jesus is the head in the sense that He is the first of the New Testament church. He is the firstborn from the dead. He is the first one through the tunnel, leading through death into life.
He also is the supreme head. He is overall- the top of the ladder- the boss. It is the power to conquer death that makes Him supreme. He is over the supreme court. He is the ultimate judge of life as He has the power to give life to the dead. He is King of kings and Lord of lords as well as judge of judges.
Prayer: Lord, help me to listen to you as my head. Give me a heart to follow in your ways.
