Who is the head of the Church and why is the Church subject to Christ?
Christ is the head of the Church and the Savior of the Body. The Church is subject to Christ because He is its Head and Savior, and because He loved the Church and gave Himself for it. Believers are not Christ's subjects but joint heirs with Him.
Les teaches from Ephesians 2 that Christ is the Head of the Church and the Savior of the Body, and therefore the Church is subject unto Christ. He points out that Paul never refers to the Lord as King of the Church; Christ is not our King but the Head of the Body. A king rules over his subjects, but believers are not Christ's subjects—they are joint heirs with Him. Though He will still come as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, believers will rule and reign not under Him but with Him. Les also clarifies that “Church” means the universal compilation of believers brought into the Body of Christ by the Holy Spirit, in union with Him, and Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for it.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
