"He is the head of the body," Colossians 1:18.
He, who? God's son. Jesus. That's who, he. Jesus is the head. Head of what? The body. Head, body. Go together, right? Of course he's the head of the body! What body? Surprise (!) : the congregation. A gathering of human souls comprises that body. Jesus is their head! The gathering of all sorts of peoples, seen and unseen. His body. An organic structure held together in Jesus. His real body through whom God reconciles everything. Everything? Everything. In heaven. On earth. All reconciled. At peace. Through the blood of Jesus' cross. Jesus: in First place before anything. Any thing, in all creation. Foremost. He.
We gather with a brother or sister today integrated into the whole, the body of Jesus. And, together, his church, we sacrifice praises to God into forever.
