Ephesians 4:16 New International Version (NIV)
16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by
every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in
love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians and Colossians emphasize that no human being, or
even group of human beings, is head of the Church. Jesus is head of the Church.
He sets our direction. He is our example. He is our goal for ministry. In
addition, Jesus also arranges us in his Body as he chooses, gives us gifts to
use to bless each other and God, and holds us together so that we can
effectively serve as his presence in the world. So let's set our hearts on
Jesus. Let's use his life and love to inspire us and show us how to serve.
Let's give him our allegiance and loyalty. He alone is head of his Body, the
Church. Let's let him lead!
Thought for today:
What do I allow to take priority over my spiritual life?
