The Church vol.1.1
October 5, 2009
" and he (Jesus) is the head of the body of Christ; who is the beginning,the firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence." ( Eph. 5:23,24; Col. 1:18)
Question: Who is the Head?
Answer: Jesus
"He (Jesus) said unto them, but whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, blessed art thou, Simon Barjona; for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock " I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. ( Mt. 16:15-18)
Question: Who builds the Church?
Answer: Jesus CHrist
It is clear from Our Lords Word that he will build his church and he is to have the headship. If we can remember " if we lift up Jesus he will do the drawing" how much better the church would be. We do all sorts of things to build-but lets try what he says " lift Him up" and see what happens.
