MAE & I ARE FINE 
& WILL BE BACK SUNDAY FOR OUR SERVICE!

We can’t wait to see everyone.

Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Colossians 1:18, “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”

This verse reveals Christ’s headship and administration. 

He is the Head of His Body, the church, showing that the church is a part of His administration. 

He is the Head of something. 

If you are a head, you have to have something to be head over. 

Christ is the Head of His Body, the church. 

His position as the Head over the church gives Him the position to head up the whole universe and to consummate this age and bring in the kingdom. 

This is why the church is so critical to God–because it is the unit of His administration.

In His work, Christ is the Head over His Body, the church. 

As members of His Body, the church, we are just an extension of His administration. 

This is not merely theology to us. 

It means that we do not have choices in our daily life. 

We are a ruled person. 

Are you ruled in your inner being by Christ? 

Am I ruled? 

Perhaps we have felt free to talk, free to do many things. 

But one day, as we are participating in Christ, we realize, “Lord, I have no life apart from You. My life is to be ruled by You inwardly.” 

In that inner ruling is the ruling of the universe. 

Christ heads up the universe not in an organizational way, but in a hidden, silent way. 

As He is gaining us, He gets the ground on this earth and in this universe to come back and to exercise His government and His headship as the Lamb to consummate the age. 

How awesome is our life, participating in the Person and work of Christ in His administration.

Until Tomorrow,

With a Shepherd’s Love

Pastor
