Technical

"The head of every man is Christ," 1 Corinthians 11:3.

Man. That is, the male human being. This is starting to get a bit technical. In this verse, the Good Book's not referencing man in the sense of a generic human. It's about males (not females), specifically. But more specific, it's about husbands. And even more specific, about husbands redeemed by Christ. This man is not footloose and fancy free. This man must submit to Christ. Christ is his head. Just as God is the head of Christ, so also is Christ the head of this man. Head of every one of these men. And this man, when he prays or prophesies, must not wear a hat. Because if he does, he dishonors Christ. Because this man is the image and glory of God. This man must not cover that image. It's what it says.

When we visit a brother or sister today, we do so in honor of Christ. And together we give thanks in deep respect to God and his Christ who leads us into glory.
