Where does the Bible present Christ as the Head of the Body?
Ephesians chapter 1, particularly its final verse, presents Christ as the Head of the Body. The passage describes God raising Christ from the dead, seating Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies, far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name named.
Les teaches that after discussing the Body of Christ, where believers are members in particular, he turns to Ephesians chapter 1. At the end of that chapter, Christ is again presented as the Head of the Body. Paul writes that God raised Christ from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenlies. That is the believer's position: when He is in heaven, we are in heaven. Christ is far above all principality, power, might, dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world to come. Verse 22 begins, 'and God hath put all...' This passage exalts Christ as Head over all for the Body.
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
